How to make a building bend, not break? Link: youtu.be/bKRm6hTepfg We look into the engineering behind a potentially fatal flaw hidden inside San Francisco’s skyscrapers... a weakness that could have seen tall and mid-rise towers collapse in a major earthquake.

What’s wrong with San Fran’s skyscrapers? Full video here: youtu.be/bKRm6hTepfg We explore a potentially fatal flaw hidden inside San Francisco’s skyline. #engineering #earthquake #sanfrancisco
