Even with cracks in the walls and rusted steel bars exposed to naked eyes, residents of Man Yuen Building in Jordan were not too worried that the building would collapse. Concerns were raised after photos showing the poor conditions of a flat on the lower floors of the building circulated on the internet. Concrete fell from the walls and ceiling, allowing the eyes to see the rusted steel bars within. A resident there believed the cracks on the walls were “not a big deal” and there was no evidence that the building could collapse at any moment. Merchants expressed faith in the structure of the building as well and showed little concerns on its impact on businesses.
