Act of Terrorism or Structure Design Error?

On Saturday evening, February 14, 2004, the massive domed roof of the Transvaal Park recreational facility collapsed, killing at least 27 people and injuring scores. It was the pool area of the complex which suffered the direct impact of the devastation.This area contained a wave-pool, ceiling-high water-slides, a children’s pool and even an artificial beach. It is estimated that more than 400 people were gathered around these points when the massive roof fell from a height of over 30 meters. One of the lucky ones to escape was Roman Yazymin, 29, who was using a solarium on the second floor when the tragedy struck. Suddenly he heard a tremendous crash. “It was not an explosion, but the noise of metal collapsing,” he stated.” When we ran to collect our belongings, everything was covered in blood.”

The authorities were quick to note that the tragedy was not an act of terrorism – but that was the first thought in the minds of many who witnessed the tragic accident or first heard of it. If not an act of terrorism, then what? Who is to blame for the tragedy? Anyway, the final word rests with the authorized investigators.
