The Bureau's findings also made clear that, although the original design would not have met
the Kansas City Building Code either, the original design might not have failed under the minor
load present that day. In the inevitable court case that followed, the licenses of the principal and
the project manager of the firm responsible for the design were revoked. The attorney for the
Missouri State licensing board said, “It wasn't a matter of doing something wrong, they just
never did it at all. Nobody ever did any calculations to figure out whether or not the particular
connection that held the skywalks up would work. It got built without anybody ever figuring out
if it would be strong enough.”
