Random Facts

The Citibank building in New York City had a structural flaw, and had the potential to fall down. There was a misunderstanding between the Engineer and the Contractor and the building was not built right. When the flaw was caught in 1978 (a year after completion) it was found that there was a 50% chance of collapse during winds over 78 mph. (typical in a hurricane). At the same time there was a hurricane heading up the East Coast heading straight for NYC. The Engineer and building owner secretly had the flaw corrected in the middle of the night (some of the bracings were bolted instead of being welded). There were rumors about the 'glowing Citibank building' because the welding could be seen across the skyline. It was estimated that 156 blocks would have been demilished due to the domino effect the building would start had it fallen over.

Quote on Identity

Harris, Sydney J.: "It is easier to be a "humanitarian" than to render your own country its proper due; it is easier to be a "patriot" than to make your community a better place to live in; it is easier to be a "civic leader" than to treat your own family with loving understanding; for the smaller the focus of attention, the harder the task. "
