In 1977, a massive 59-story skyscraper called the Citicorp Center was completed in New York City. The building featured a highly innovative design: it was set on four massive, 9-story-tall stilts positioned under the center of each side, rather than the corners, to accommodate a historic church beneath it.
Shortly after its completion, an undergraduate engineering student named Diane Hartley recalculated the wind loads on the building. She discovered a fatal flaw: the builders had substituted welded joints for bolted joints to save money. This change made the tower highly vulnerable to diagonal "quartering" winds, meaning a predictable 16-year storm could easily topple the skyscraper right into midtown Manhattan.
The building's chief structural engineer secretly verified her math, panicked, and launched an emergency, middle-of-the-night repair operation to weld heavy steel plates over the bolted joints, keeping the entire near-catastrophe completely secret from the public for nearly 20 years. Who was this famous chief structural engineer who orchestrated the secret midnight repairs?
