This incident reminds me of twenty years ago, when I was teaching in the School of Architecture at the Chicago campus of the University of Illinois. One of my students lent me a novel (fiction) regarding the slow collapse of a skyscraper in Manhattan. Only the occupants of the building were concerned. No one else seemed to know or care. Only in Manhattan!
