    Good that this chap is suspended and probably blacklisted by now, but let’s not forget that structures like this aren’t simply designed by a single person and then put into production.

    Other engineers will have checked the designs thoroughly to find errors and issues. Whomever signed off on his work should also be closely scrutinised.

    If it turns out he someone got his designs built with no oversight, then I would say the issue runs much deeper. Is it incompetence on the part of the company? Or does it go further. How many other companies may also be slipping through the cracks with improperly tested structures, etc.
