restaurant partially collapse into lake Macquarie

     Note 

•  restaurant collapses into lake
• the two people who were inside unhurt ed
• the collapse due to structural faults
• no one can go inside the restaurant  
• the electricity was isolated

     

         
      Summary

      This article is about a famous restaurant was collapsed into Macquarie's lake . Two people were 

      inside  when the restaurant fell down on Monday morning , fortunately they were unhurt  . 

      People in charge said the collapsed due to sever structural falts , and the piers under the

      front of the building had given away.

      Because of the floor from the first floor sank into the lake , no one can take his items or have 

      a look closely.

      Also the electricity, gas and water were isolated to avoid the lake from any pollution. 

  

     Personal reflection 

     

     It is enjoyable to have a meal in restaurants surrounded by water but sure in safe place to sit in .

     So I think the council should check the structure of those buildings beside the water or over

     it more than other buildings, because they are impacted by water during the time.
