I’ll give you a hint. It’s the result of stupidity. And from the looks of a lot of photos in the area, it’ll probably happen again. The “environmentalist” mindset plays a significant role, and as we know, leftist greenies aren’t known for their magnificent minds.
What you’re looking at is a collapsed roof, in China, because nitwits thought it would be an “environmentally friendly” idea to grow grass up there. (Some officials are claiming that the roof was built with a grass roof in mind, but others are saying that this was an unauthorized alteration.)
What moron doesn’t understand the amount of weight that is added by vegetation?
I had a weird abandoned house near me that was built by a rich environmentalist who grew grass on the roof of the main structure of his compound.
The place had an unbelievable view and we used to go up there for fireworks, or shooting stars. Even though it was specifically built for growing grass, I never felt comfortable up there, always expecting to drop like Maxwell Smart in the phone booth.
Especially when a few steps felt a little “springy.”

China, Pffft. Here’s why that happened. They couldn’t find any American Structural Engineering Specs for growing grass on your house so they just winged it.
China’s really good at copying. Not an original thought process goes on in all their collective heads.
“What moron doesn’t understand the amount of weight that is added by vegetation?”
The same moron that thought it would be a good idea to keep the grass cut using a large, heavy Zero Turn Radius lawn mower?
If you were gonna do something like this, why would you plant grass instead of some edible vegetables of some sort that also didn’t require constant, large amounts of water to grow? But it’s a pretty stupid idea from an engineering perspective in either case because no matter how well it might be designed (even accounting for the weight of the water), unwanted water is likely to find its way into the inside of the building and cause some kind of damage eventually.
And the Cinee are math wizards?
No wait, that’s true only in America. The Chinee with the brains come here.
it’s CHINA……it was supposed to be “glass”……..
