Members agedhorse Posted August 18, 2003 Members Share Posted August 18, 2003 Looking closely at the photos, my gut says that the aluminum truss super-structure failed, rather than the building attachments at the points. The fact that the rear points are intact despite the dynamic load presented as the structure collapsed sure indicates substantial points. The weak point of any such structure is the center of the span... it's always suspect. Once any part of this structure fails, the dyanmics change and all hell can break loose. The points of attachment are a close second on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
