They’re designed to stay in one piece under normal conditions, and predictable disaster conditions. Clearly this wasn’t one of those, but you expect the same thing to happen?

I meant that they stayed in one piece, as per your objection. No, they did not fall over, but then these have had their lower floors taken out symmetrically. Presumably a natural disaster would not be as forgiving.

And failed controlled demolitions are not unprecedented disaster conditions, but I suspect this discussion is not worth having.
