But if a scenario has to take place where only a certain section in skyscrapers' upper steel support is weakened for whatever reason , then its obviously a 'stupid' design where its highly possible in resulting in the entire building imploding completely, asymmetrically ,suddenly/rapidly where thousands of people may still be inside with little to no time for evacuation. Thats a DEATH TRAP. That should only be possible with the use explosives at precise locations in a tall building. Especailly in skyscrapers of that capacity. And if you are proudly admitting this is the norm and nothing is wrong, then you are sounding foolish. |
I wasn't trying to twist your words.
It may be a death trap but it's also the laws of physics - things fall downwards. When you have that much mass falling downwards then whatever is below it (in this case the rest of the tower) basically does not stand a chance. You cannot reasonably design for tens of thousands of tonnes of material falling on your building.
