“Boston Parking Garage Collapse Highlights Need for Ongoing Infrastructure Initiatives”

I wanted to discuss this article because it is an example of one that covers what I would consider a traumatic event. A parking garage in Boston collapsed and killed a construction worker, which is relevant to the area UMass Lowell is in. Included in the article, which I felt was a unique perspective, was an interview with a Civil Engineer professor at UMass Lowell. Dr. TzaYang Yu discussed the collapse of the building from an Engineer perspective. He offered his theories on the matter to suggest how the accident might have occured. I thought this piece was well written and it was interesting to have the mind of a UML Professor picked at for the article.
