    I assume it was yet another scrapple project like that parking garage that collapsed earlier this year. Will America ever overcome its good-enough attitude?

      Soviets: some random steel plant had so much durability they couldn’t collapse it with modern weapons like 50 years later.

      Americans: how much can we save in material costs if we fudge the numbers in the safety margin?

        Let's also bring in the epic engineers of 14th century China for comparison. Their city walls were so durable that not even 20th century artillery could punch through them. Nowadays America builds their walls out of plastic and sawblades. Disgraceful!
