[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 50650, member: 67"] Re: Commissioned Report on Indiana Fair Tragedy I'm still working through the report, but the issues I noted were ones of failing to follow the flawed, but more stringent 2010 Thomas report, and that the guying implementation from 2010 was pretty much NOT what was done in 2011. It appears that the choice of wire rope diameter was made on site by whomever erected the roof. I looked at the reports on the "fin plates" and saw that TT noted those plates would be unable to sustain the applied load. This is a fundamental design issue for Thomas. How it sorts out, and what other engineering firms that will testify as expert witnesses have to say about it all, will be illuminating. [/QUOTE]
