"In the 1968 presidential election, the Democratic candidate, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, waited until 5 weeks before the election to break with President Johnson over the Vietnam War. Humphrey finally insisted he would end the war. It was too late. Richard Nixon won. The result? Another 21,000 dead American soldiers who literally died for nothing."
one wonders whether there were also other humans that died as a result of that.
from a pure structural engineering standpoint, it was a planned demolition. this guy describes it the best.
