Doesn't it depend on who it lands on? My understanding is that if it lands on the owner's son, the engineer himself is fine.

I would think the opposite; the engineer would be severely tortured first, then executed.

The result is exactly the reason why you never, but never, be Mr. Nice Guy for the owner for a few bucks at the expense of the public. The owner passed the bucks to the engineer, and the engineer passed the buck to the public. If true, obvious collusion and fraud, misfeasance, malfeasance, to name a few additional charges outside of the obvious, but what do I know.
This is pathetic to say the least. Where is the integrity?

According to Hammaurabi's code, the engineer's son is put to death.

The original engineer was at 'fault?' because he stipulated a design load that couldn't be fabricated for the system specified... The structure was reviewed by numerous consultants that are well aware of corrosion issues and that have fairly extensive parkade experience... The 'as specified' system did not work...
The PEO comes up with a multi page document that???

What is the range of penalty for those charges in Canada? Do you know?
Fine, short prison term, long prison term, the stocks?
RE: Algo Center Mall update
I don't know, but I can find out... Given the information that has emerged, I'm surprised the owner wasn't charged also. He knew about the problem, was advised by the Architect, and had the financial resources to remedy...
