Maybe so. But then they should have put enough steel in to make the weight relative.

I am sure there are codes for weight versus steel. Believe me everything in Eng is highly thought out.

Maybe just the mass of it all falling was never considered when building it. That is poss but hard to believe with all the codes and Eng theory that goes into construction.
