The first structural failure

Miracle on thirty-fourth street

Will the Pantheon stand up forever

For lack of redundancy

Big bangs

The day the earth shook

Galloping Gertie

When metals tire

Thruways to eternity

The weaknesses of mother earth

Valley of tears

The house of cards

Structural dermatology

Old-age death

The worst structural disaster in the United States

The politics of destruction

The structure of the law

Conclusion: can we prevent future failures?
