The municipal government in this case, who else? It is a "common knowledge" that the municipal constructions are hot spots of corruption. It is sad to see that China is going to a worse direction and the central government is still planning to spend another $585B to boost economy - I'm sure a fair amount of this $585B will boost corruptions too.

If some one would of went up to the construction workers and reported this they could of stopped those 21 deaths that happened and they could of saved the subway station. I think people have to be more careful when doing stuff like this or when they are going to build a subway station I think they should take a closer look at where they want to put it and at all the dangers that are possible with it. It is little things and mistakes like this that are creating many tragedies around the world and that are taking peoples lives because people aren’t thinking enough about all of this they just want or need something so they decide to build it and they probably didn’t have one clue that this was going to happen.  All that this left behind was  the memories and the big mess from the station and the river which doesn’t do anyone any good.
