[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 50613, member: 67"] Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy No need to cut them. One of Thornton Tomasetti's disputes with the Thomas engineer's 2010 study was that 1/2" wire rope guy lines specified by Thomas were, in fact, insufficient for the load. In TT's recreation of the collapse, they point to the initial sliding movement of some of the Jersey barricade (K rail) and the subsequent failure of guy lines. One of the reasons guys failed was due to use of 3/8" wire rope, mixed with 1/2". One of the questions for Mid America will be "why were these materials used when Thomas specified a stronger product"? I'm still digesting this report and looking at the various modes of failure at different points in the collapse. It will be interesting to see how all this plays out in court. [/QUOTE]
