I’m reading today on various news portals on the web but also on USA Today that I have in front of me on my computer desk that finally there have been arrests made regarding the connection in the construction of the collapsed Taiwanese apartment complex where dozens of people lost their lives in last week’s horrific earthquake.

However from what I’ve read this investigation is just at the beginning and we should see a lot more than just three arrests. It is a matter fact that Taiwan capital investigators are focusing on the engineering and the materials used to build this huge construction. To date we have seen photographs of pillars that were basically holding the side of the building filled with thousands of tin cans. Many experts speculate that these can we used to save on cement and they may have been used all over the complex to save millions of dollars in construction materials.

Of course my deepest sympathies go out to all those that have lost a dear one in this terrible tragedy, and let’s hope that everyone that had done wrong being in the construction of this building is held accountable and will pay a very expensive price for what they have done.
