wah lau eh

 

imagine u walk staircase,

suddenly got one car come out from the wall beside u.

[Ahtong]

I am wondering if the pic is for real or someone photoshopped it.

 

Can't imagine a MSCP wall is so weak.

 

The original pic is from a fb acc with no further information on the incident.

Our HDB's wall also as weak as that?

Why not if they used cheap materials?

I now worry about my BOMB Shelter...

IMO, the pic is photoshopped. Look at the wall just below the fire extingusher, it's so straight and look at the wall above the engine.

Bomb shelter is just a fancy name given to your store room. You pay more for that.

imagine there is a catastrophy and the flats in sg collapse, only the bomb shelter is strong enough. All the bomb shelters from 1st to the last floor still standing! That will be really a sight [laugh]

dun think it's a complete wall... more likely a void or gaps will small pillars for ventilation purpose

[Jman888]

even if it was real, the hole the car crashed was wooden board and not much bricks.

ya the pic is shopped, the proportion of the car front is way off relative to it its body size( look at the front wheel vs the rear wheel)...anyway good attempt.

I'm going to be the contrarian and say the picture looks real enough. The portion crashed through is a non-load-bearing wall, meaning it's made up of hollow concrete bricks.

 

The part below the fire extinguisher looks straight because it's part of the load-bearing beam, and is undamaged since it's much stronger. The damage to the car also looks consistent to crashing through a hole and whatever didn't fit got ripped out.

 

Furthermore, the debris strewn around the stairs look natural. Consistent with the wall paint and internal concrete colour. Would have taken too much effort to photoshop.
