	I don't think "oops" adequately sums it up. Who's gonna clean up the mess?

	Or civil engineers? The video showed concrete sections disintegrating and falling down, but I couldn't really see any steel rebar.

	It looked to me like the external wall of windows was the support....There was no reinforcement that I saw either...This also had a garden on the roof, it seems to me that kind of load would require a support beam structure... __________________ All living things seek to control their own destiny....this is the purpose of life

	Online shopping is killing off shopping malls. This one died a bit quicker than most.

	Too few decimal places from the slide ruler? If from a slide rule, a misplaced decimal point would be more likely. My bet, nowadays, is use of software that was not understood or not used properly. Or perhaps, they were just winging it.
