I’d be more likely to believe it’s material defect than an engineering fault, I’d have to imagine the engineers got double-guessed a few times, and checked over…

just breaking stones bics56, I woulda laughed too, then proceeded to walk down the hall to see who I could point at and laugh

@Darkstar

i dont know much about engineering, but I’d imagine there is quite a bit of redundancy built it as far as safety goes. With all the hoops I have to jump through just to make alterations to a swimming pool, I’d imagine its 10x as involved to get stuff like this approved with the state. Sounds like bad materials to me.

I don’t think this is as uncommon as all think. Watch the History channel some time, they have a show called something like engineered disasters…
