The failure points were the same: walls and slabs not tied properly into columns -- that's a roof slab hanging off the building -- cantilevered structures, or structures that were asymmetric, that shook violently and came down, poor building materials, not enough concrete, not enough compression in the blocks, rebar that was smooth, rebar that was exposed to the weather and had rusted away.
Točke propadanja su bile iste -- zidovi i ploče koji nisu bili propisno vezani u stupove -- to je krovna ploča koja visi sa zgrade -- gredne strukture, ili strukture koje su asimetrične, koje su se tresle i otpale, loši građevinski materijali, nedovoljno cementa, nedovoljno kompresije na blokovima, glatko betonsko željezo, betonsko željezo koje je bilo eksponirano vremenu i zahrđalo.
