The Infinity Tower's foundation site was flooded yesterday, due to the collapse of a wall which supported the Dubai Marina waters. However, hundred workers on-site is said to have had a lucky escape.
The excavation work of "the tallest building with a twist", the Infinity Tower, was almost nearing completion, when the workers heard a loud sharp sound, who later noticed the sand pouring down on all sides. The foreman asked the workers to escape immediately.
The Eighty storey tower, worth Dh.700 million, is said to have a ninety degree twist. The Manager of Arabtec has mentioned that the happening is in the process of investigation.

If you look at the pictures taken before the accident and if you compare these to the ones from other towers one could notice that this excavation of the tower basement was VERY close to the marina wall. I think this is what caused it but am not an expert.
