[QUOTE="Old Fart, post: 2415217, member: 4899"] MOORE -- Instead of offering protection from the tornado on May 20, 2013, Plaza Towers became a deathtrap, Briarwood a pile of rubble. Detailed in a soon-to-be-released report for the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Structural Engineering Institute, an analysis of the debris of the Briarwood Elementary School showed that several of the buildings steel roof beams were not attached to the walls, many of Briarwoods cinder-block walls were not properly reinforced with steel rebar and large portions of the walls were not backfilled with concrete.
