Terrible ... whatever the cause is.
Just heard that it was designed to withstand a Cat 5 hurricane and last
for at least 100 years. It was pre-stressed to handle enormous loads.
It lasted one day. Engineering screw up? Construction screw up?
7 people are dead ... more injured.
...
And it’s claim is to be a “feat of engineering?”
My wife's bet is they guess wrong about how cold it is here and they
tried to put a load on green* concrete. (*not properly cured)
