Description: This is a follow-up to our analysis of the collapse of an eleven story apartment building in Chennai, India, from 2016. See the full original here: youtu.be/yu2bQtIS69g In this video we have measured the forces acting on each column of the building before the collapse. After heavy rain on Saturday, June 28, 2014, the eleven-story under-construction building at Moulivakkam in the suburb of Chennai, Tamil Nadu collapsed, killing 61 people, mostly construction workers. We have been investigating this case by means of computer simulation to show side by side the differing outcomes of collapse simulations that represent the opposing theories. Our virtual collapse simulations are based on real physics and represent the reality to a high degree. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Chennai_building_collapse Credits & Links: Virtual Validation Corporation: Kai Kostack, kostackstudio@gmx.de & Dipl.
