"It had been raining for days, and the foundation pit collapsed," said Hu Aijie, a resident of the Changsha Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital residential area, on the morning of May 11. She said that at noon on May 10, a foundation pit next to Building 2 collapsed on the west side of the building, and they were worried it might affect the safety of the entire building.
　　On the morning of May 11, a reporter from the Xiaoxiang Morning Herald saw at the scene that the incident occurred on the west side of Building 2 in the residential area. Next to the building was a foundation pit about 5 meters deep. The slope protection of the pit had collapsed, and the collapsed section had been covered with colored striped canvas, with sandbags placed below the pit.
　　Hu Aijie, an owner of the building, recalled that the collapse should have occurred at noon on May 10. The construction party took measures that day, but because the collapse was close to the residential building, she was still somewhat worried.
　　"I didn't sleep well all night. It collapsed a bit more at 1 a.m.," Hu Aijie said. The building they live in has six floors and a basement, and it is only a few meters from the collapse site. "I'm afraid the building will collapse."
　　After the incident, the project construction party immediately arranged for personnel to take measures and arranged for personnel to monitor the displacement and settlement of the building. "The current values are all normal."
　　Mao Senwei, a technician from Hunan Changheng Engineering Quality Testing Co., Ltd., said that as a third-party appraisal agency, they inspected the site. The slope collapse was related to the recent continuous rainfall, and the collapsed area was backfill soil. "It will not affect the safety of the entire building."
