National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) investigators faced when they began in 2002 was the destruction of the main bodies of evidence that they would normally probe in such a disaster. Why did WTC 1 stand nearly twice as long as WTC 2 after the impact of the aircraft? How could World Trade Center Building 7, which a plane did not hit, stand for seven hours and then collapse? And could such building failures occur elsewhere? Answers to all these questions have not only solved mysteries but also have led to changes in international building codes that may help prevent future tragedies. The next thoughts of the researchers who probed the calamity, aside from outrage, were how and why it happened from an engineering perspective. Last August, the court gave three months to demolish the towers, but it's taken a year due to technical difficulties. The Supreme Court observed that building norms were violated by the builder in collusion with Noida authorities.Ī number of petitions were submitted in the Supreme Court by homebuyers in support of and opposition to the Allahabad High Court's ruling.Even veteran disaster investigators were stunned by the fall of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. Accordingly, in 2014, the court directed the authority to demolish the towers within four months (at its own expense) from the date the order was filed.
The petitioners argued that the Supertech group violated norms to sell more flats and enhance their profit margins. Later, the plan was revised and the builder was allowed to construct 40 floors in each tower. The area where the towers were built was to be made into a garden as per the original plan.įollowing this, residents of Supertech Emerald Court society went to the Allahabad High Court in 2012 stating that the construction was illegal.
When the ' Supertech Emerald Court' housing society was originally sanctioned, the building plan showed 14 towers and nine floors. The buildings will be demolished by the company at its own expense under the guidance of the Noida Authority. The demolition was ordered by the Supreme Court after the court found their construction on the Emerald Court society premises in violation of norms.
