This is a bit of a strawman. People do care about structural safety. There is an entire industry of professional engineers and building inspectors.
You don't know what you don't know. And disasters happen. After Hurricane Andrew, we learned from studying what broke, and made major improvements to building codes. Same thing will happen here.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoSounds like you missed the news from last week: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfside_condominium_building_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfside_condominium_building_... That building was reported under the same safety industry and regulations, and nothing was done. We know intellectually, just as before, what happens to buildings with structural failures: they collapse. The difference is that we quickly forget the emotional or cultural awareness of the problem, and only care about these issues for as long as that news cycle lasts.
