Beschreibung
What do you do when you discover that the stunning, highly innovative 59-story skyscraper you just built in the center of Manhattan has a fatal mathematical flaw, and is mathematically guaranteed to blow over and collapse if hit by a major hurricane? In 1978, the chief engineer of the Citigroup Center realized this exact nightmare, sparking one of the most incredible, covert rescue operations in… architectural history. The Citigroup Center featured a radical design: it was elevated on four massive stilts positioned in the center of each side, rather than the corners. Engineer William LeMessurier later discovered that the chevron bracing had been bolted rather than welded to save money, making the building critically vulnerable to quartering winds. With hurricane season approaching, LeMessurier convinced Citicorp executives to secretly hire crews to weld two-inch steel plates over 200 bolted joints. The crews worked frantically every night from 8 PM to 4 AM, hiding their work before the office workers arrived the next morning. This thrilling engineering forensic study explores the intersection of brilliant design and catastrophic oversight. It documents the ethical courage of LeMessurier to admit his own fatal mistake, the tense race against Hurricane Ella, and the absolute media blackout that kept the terrified public entirely unaware for nearly twenty years. Stand beneath the weight of a monumental error. The Citigroup Center fix is a breathtaking testament to engineering ethics and the terrifyingly thin margin of error in megacity architecture.
