Failure in execution, in certain cases design, results in invaluable losses. In addition to material losses, this failure in design and execution also claims numerous lives. As a result, the building will be remembered as the worst construction failure in history. Reported by Rethinking The Future, here are the 10 worst architectural construction failures in history.

The collapse of the material destroyed two cars underneath it, and caused one passing vehicle to fall. In addition, this incident also claimed five lives and left six others seriously injured. The overpass, which was built in 1970, is suspected to have collapsed due to several factors. Aside from poor initial design, the placement of the road reinforcement was incorrect, and low-quality concrete was used. The worst part is the presence of cracks along the horizontal plane of the overpass that were left unattended for years.

Uniquely, the collapsed building landed almost entirely intact, only a few centimeters away from the adjacent building. The cause was when constructing the parking lot structure beneath the building, the workers excavated the soil and disposed of it at the nearby landfill near the river. The increased weight of the soil caused the riverbank bordering the building to collapse. This resulted in the river water seeping into the building's foundation, transforming it into mud and causing the building to collapse.

As a result, an explosion in one apartment caused the entire 22-story building to collapse like dominoes. After the incident, it was found that the bolts and connections were damaged and submerged in water because they were filled with newspaper instead of concrete. Consequently, the wall panels of the entire apartment building cracked before eventually collapsing. Miraculously, only four out of the 260 people in this apartment building died in the 1968 disaster.

They were unaware, despite being stunning, that the Carrara marble they used to build the exterior of The Aon Center was thinner and lighter than typical building materials. As a result, one year after the building was erected, one marble slab detached and fell onto the roof of the Prudential Center next to it. When the investigation revealed that this incident could potentially recur, the building was re-clad at a cost of over 80,000,000 US dollars.

Children cannot use the existing games because they are damaged. The architects did not pay enough attention to the materials used for futuristic games. Imagine! All the game equipment made of pure steel will have a temperature of 52 degrees Celsius in the summer. As a result, children cannot play because their skin can get burned.

Until one day an incident occurred due to a mistake in the window design. As a result, a 226-kilogram window glass came loose and fell onto the sidewalk below. In 1973, all 10,344 window glasses were replaced. During the repairs, plywood sheets replaced the empty windows in the building, earning it the nickname "Plywood Palace."

With a width of nearly 3.2 meters and a water speed of 8 km per hour, the victims and debris were carried by the current for a distance of 86 km to the Pacific Ocean. The addition of structures that increased water capacity, cracks ignored by engineers, and rock instability beneath the dam were the causes. In the morning of the incident, the dam keeper reported a new water leak eroding the dam's foundation. However, the Department of Water and Power considered the dam to be safe.

The workers noted that the bridge they called "Galloping Gertie" was already seen swaying even when it was being built. This condition even caused seasickness for some people passing over it. The inadequate framework materials and support beams used to reduce construction costs were the cause. Amazingly, the incident did not claim any lives.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The residents of Johnstown who do not accept that statement blame the poor maintenance by the dam owners. The townspeople are even angrier because the dam owners chose to patch the leaks with straw and mud instead of making proper repairs."

Built in 1967 and considered "structurally deficient" by the federal government in 1991 and 2005, this bridge is scheduled to be replaced in 2020. The cause is due to the addition of construction materials and equipment weighing nearly 29 tons on the bridge, thus adding load to the gusset plates that are already too small. Approximately 100 cars with their passengers and 18 construction workers fell into the river or its banks.
