man I love this podcast. Such a good episode

This episode really does have it all. Super interesting, well written with a twist at the end

no such thing as a small bit player! :)) Beautiful, Thank You!

I love all these stories! Really soothing and interesting.

99% Invisible is honored to accept a 2015 Third Coast International Audio Festival award for Structural Integrity, a story of architectural engineering gone wrong, and then covertly made right.

When it was built in 1977, the 59-story CitiCorp Center had a potentially fatal flaw that could have caused the building to collapse during a sever storm, and take out the entire Midtown Manhattan skyline with it. This flaw (and the plan to fix it) was so secret, that even the person who found the problem only discovered the full story decades later.

110- Structural Integrity (Rebroadcast)

A tiny radio show about design, architecture &amp; the 99% invisible activity that shapes our world.
