Lunch video-----Citicorp Center | NYC skyscraper saved by a student’s question

"The Citicorp Center repair is a classic engineering case study of how mistakes must be avoided in engineering and construction of public works.  
A skyscraper in New York City needed a unique structural system. 
 While reviewing the design a student asked a question that made the engineer realize that a mistake had been made.  
There is a daring race to make the repairs for the building collapses. 
 The video gives the details and then discusses how the engineer handled the situation."
