Very sad when something like this happens to innocent people.

Saw some of the pictures and it makes you think a bit about the structural integrity of some of the facades we walk by each day thinking that it is safe to go there. The site had a number of timber walls erected that had a lot of bracing which are still standing, but not the brick wall for some reason.

The developer (cannot mention the "G....." name for possible future defamation lawsuits) will have a lot to answer for.

Extremely sad for families,friends of the the 2 poor kids. My heart goes out to them. I would not be able to cope if it happened to my kids. Us Melbourneians would have walked there many a time. I always believed in bricks and mortar to be the safest structure. Just a freaky accident. crying sad flower
