STANDING TALL: The buildings on Palm Beach Road (above) at Sanpada, Navi Mumbai, and the Shanghai building (right), which collapsed on June 27.</td></tr></tbody></table>At pains to put the facts right, the owner has now announced a Rs 25,000 reward for anybody who can prove the Shanghai collapse happened in Sanpada, as bizarre as that may sound. Builder says u00a0 Said Nalin Shah, owner of Shah Builders, "All my four buildings on Palm Beach Road are safe and stand tall. These are rumours and I strongly deny them." In fact, it's a simple coincidence that prompted the flurry of e-mails. The Shanghai building, which collapsed on June 27, is located on Palm Beach River, while Shah's projects are on Palm Beach Road. u00a0 "The Shanghai building is 13-storeys, while none of mine are over seven. The comparison is ridiculous," added Shah. He, however, stated that a week ago he had announced the demolition of the Bombay Mercantile Building in Vashi, he had bought about 18 months ago. "I plan to construct either a five-star hotel or a hospital. But again, this doesn't have anything to do with the Shanghai crash," said Shah. u00a0 While on the Shanghai crash, architect Shabbir Khambaty explained, "The builder did not understand the notion of centre of gravity. The foundation can be strong, but if the upper level of the building is not made properly the building can fall." The crash on e-mail An unoccupied, under-construction building in the Sanpada section of the Palm Beach Roadu00a0 collapsed at around 5.30 am on June 30. One worker was killed. According to reports, a 70-metre section of the flood prevention wall in nearby creek, which connects to the Arabian Sea, collapsed and may haveu00a0 had something to do with this building collapse.
