DRTA, but I listened to the podcast. In it, they say that if the Citicorp tower fell, it would topple nearby skyscrapers like dominoes.
Out of morbid curiosity, what's the worst case scenario for something like this? Let's assume terrorists could detonate a bomb large enough to knock over any one skyscraper in the world. Where should they put it to maximize the chain reaction of destruction?
I think most skyscrapers fall straight down under the load rather than topple. Similar to what happened to the WTC towers. Not that I have any credibility in this area, but according to that documentary people seemed especially concerned that this particular building would topple instead of collapse straight down.
