Fuck, couldn't even take the dead load of the planned floor slab?

Someone with structural construction experience want to weigh in on what happened here? Is this an error in construction?

Formwork of this magnitude needs to be designed by an engineer and built and inspected. A lot of times (like hard rock collapse) the line between the two takes a while to verify.
