This was quite remarkable. I saw a documentary on this many years ago. The
fact that it was well documented led to an enormous amount of knowledge
acquired with regard to strong winds on all structures. It was lucky in
this case that no one was killed or injured.
Well done for putting this on Joe.

Gavin.
