Beijing 2008

Check out the amazing buildings they're constructing in Beijing for the 2008 Olympics:



Of course these are the plans, so they look much more romanticized, but they're already constructed and you can see the real life images on google. The sad thing is (yes, there's always a sad thing) that apparently the government is trying to cover the thousands of deaths there've been of construction workers building these structures. I guess they recruited the workers from the rural areas and didn't train them too well about construction/safety stuff (because it would have costed too much, I'm sure), and now they're dropping (literally, as those buildings are pretty damn tall) like flies.
Oh, China.
