Structural Damage to the Financial District

Posted by michael on from the engineering-challenge dept.

An anonymous submitter sent in a couple of links to damage reports on the World Trade Center complex - a nifty 3D map of the center and surrounding areas showing which buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and a discussion of how exactly they're going to excavate the below-ground area of the complex considering that it is below sea level.

    I agree with your sentiments. It's not "nifty"... it may be interesting, but "nifty" is a bit jovial, considering what it's a diagram of.

    It's nifty because it lets you look to exact what got damaged (and how badly). There was no carnage in the map, just an informative illustration.

    Sorry, would you prefer "neat-o"?

    I agree.

    Michael, if you're reading this - please rethink your style of commenting articles. Almost all of your recent comments have been either lame ("oh, I have to make some kind of comment"), flamish ("yes, that will stir up discussion on /.") or inappropriate (like this one).
