Talk:Ronan Point

message: I have just repaired the page from vandalism, but still doubt the accuracy of some of the claims, especially those of the cake decorator.   It needs a thorough checking over. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshwedlake (talk • contribs) 02:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Work on systematic demolition started in July 1986. Every single joint in the building was recorded. As the first panels were removed it was quickly discovered that the load bearing joints far from being full of concrete were in fact full of rubbish - cement bags, newspapers, cigarette ends, bottle tops and floor sweepings. This extended throughout the building and it was possible to date when the joint had been made from the date on the newspapers. After the partial collapse of the SE corner Ronan Point was rebuilt and reoccupied in 1971. What gave a great deal of cause for concern in 1986 was that the joints on the rebuilt corner also had joints stuffed with newspapers.

The collapse of the World Trade Centre towers has been attributed to fire damage to its steel structure, caused by burning jet fuel. However, there is substantial evidence pointing to controlled demolition of WTC 1,2 and tellingly, WTC7, which had no jet fuel or jet crash into it.
I took the liberty of replacing that with a link to Collapse_of_the_World_Trade_Center - Maikmerten 13:06, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ronan Point is used as one of two examples of the pancake style structural collapse of buildings similar to the world trade centre. The similarity, or difference, between the structure of Ronan point and the world trade centre may thus be of interest to readers. As far as I know the World Trade centre, like the empire state building, was a steel contrusction, not LPS. I take the liberty of using the World Trade Centre as an exmple of a steel building, rather than the empire state. I think that it is a better example since it is an other building that, for one reason or another, collapsed. --218.223.193.144 (talk) 05:59, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm old enough to remember the shock at the partial collapse of the building -& realization that this building & perhaps many others was demonstrably unsafe. It changed public perception of these buildings & building regulations. An extra sentence or so in the lede is needed.  JRPG (talk) 16:17, 7 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Where was Ronan Point exactly as far as I know the street it was on (clever street? , canning town) doesn't seem to exist anymore and also is there a plaque or so.  I think I live quite close to it and could go to the spot to make some photo's but where was it? WillemienH (talk) 12:49, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
