If there was a landslide, it was because the piling was too tall for it's footprint, or unstable for some other reason.

If the material used was substandard, it might've compacted over time, resulting in instability -- even if the math was right on paper.

No doubt there will be a cursory investigation that is swept under the right-wing rug because it led to corruption.
