1. What happened to the collapse of an overpass in a shopping mall in Dongguan, Guangdong? There was a shopping mall in Dongguan, Guangdong, and the overpass suddenly collapsed. This overpass is located in a pedestrian corridor like this shopping center. After the incident, the local authorities quickly rushed to the scene to deal with the matter. Fortunately, there were no casualties at that time, but the collapsed overpass hit several cars, all of which were more or less damaged. Relevant local departments also quickly blocked the scene to ensure that it would not cause secondary harm to the surrounding people.

2. What was the cause of the accident? ? After the incident, the building with similar structure to the collapsed corridor in this shopping mall was blocked to ensure that similar collapse would not happen again. The specific cause of the collapse is still under investigation, but it is preliminarily concluded that this pedestrian corridor has been in disrepair for a long time, so the shopping mall has an unshirkable responsibility for this matter.

Third, how to avoid this accident? For this kind of shopping mall built earlier and used for a long time, the management department of Lianlang Shopping Mall must carry out regular maintenance and repair. Once a potential safety hazard is found, it must be dealt with in time. Once neglected, it may lead to very serious consequences. When the overpass of this shopping mall in Dongguan collapsed, no one passed under it, causing no casualties. If there were a lot of people under the overpass at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable, so this kind of accident must be prevented before it happens. This requires the department of the shopping mall to conduct an investigation of all the buildings inside the shopping mall to find out these potential safety hazards, so this kind of accident can be completely avoided. Therefore, I hope that the management department of the shopping mall will shoulder its own responsibilities and ensure the personal safety of every consumer who enters the shopping mall.
