See this picture?  What you see is what's left of the Xinjian Primary School in Dujiangyan, China, in the aftermath of the Sichuan Earthquake.  Notice how a kindergarden building, at left, along with a hotel in the background, are barely damaged  The question of why so many schools crumbled during the recent Sichuan earthquake, is coming to the fore.

From the article:

"This is not a natural disaster," said Ren Yongchang, whose 9-year-old son died inside the destroyed school. His hands were covered in plaster dust as he stood beside the rubble, shouting and weeping as he grabbed the exposed steel rebar of a broken concrete column. "This is not good steel. It doesn't meet standards. They stole our children."
