  • Why Buildings Fail: Are We Learning from Our Mistakes?
    Buildings 2012, 2, 326-331; doi:10.3390/buildings2030326 OPEN ACCESS buildings ISSN 2075-5309 www.mdpi.com/journal/buildings/ Editorial Why Buildings Fail: Are We Learning From Our Mistakes? M. Kevin Parfitt Department of Architectural Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel: +1 814 863 3244; Fax: +1 814 863 4789 Received: 30 August 2012 / Accepted: 31 August 2012 / Published: 5 September 2012 1. Introduction Most building professionals have investigated or performed remedial designs for at least one architectural or engineering system failure during their careers. Other practitioners, especially those who work for forensic consultants or firms specializing in disaster response and repair, are more familiar with the variety and extent of building failures as they assist their clients in restoring damaged or deficient buildings. The advent of social medial and twenty-four-hour news channels along with the general ease of finding more examples of failures in the Internet have made us realize that building failures in the broad sense are much more common than we may have realized. Relatively recent events leading to building failures such as the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquakes, the roof/parking deck of the Algo Centre mall in the northern Ontario, Canada city of Elliot Lake and the Indiana State Fairground stage collapse in the US are just a few reminders that much more work needs to be done on a variety of fronts to prevent building failures from a life safety standpoint. The need is compounded by economic concerns from what would be considered more mundane or common failures.

  • Why Was There No Public Inquiry Into the Lac-Mégantic Disaster? Mark Winfield York University June 2017
    Justice Denied: Why was there no public inquiry into the Lac-Mégantic Disaster? Mark Winfield York University June 2017 Abstract This paper examines the reasons why, despite the magnitude and significance of the Lac-Mégantic disaster, no formal public inquiry was called into the tragedy. In doing so it explores the substantive and political rationales for establishing public inquiries in circumstances like Lac-Mégantic, and the reasons why the various investigations that have been undertaken by the Transportation Safety Board and others into the disaster do not constitute an adequate substitute for a formal inquiry. The paper then employs a modified institutional-ideological analytical framework to examine the landscape, ideational, societal, and institutional factors that have worked against the calling of an inquiry. The paper concludes that the concept of a formal inquiry likely faced major opposition at the political and official levels within the Government of Canada, as well as major non-governmental actors in transportation and fossil fuel sectors. Finally, the paper discusses the implications of the decision not to call an inquiry in the Lac- Mégantic case for the role of inquiries in similar circumstances in the future. Introduction The deadliest rail accident in Canada of the past century unfolded in the early hours of July 6th, 2013. An unattended train of 73 car-loads of crude oil from the Bakken shale formation in North Dakota, operated by the Montreal, Maine and Atlantic (MMA) railway, ran away and then derailed, exploded and burned in the heart of the small Quebec town of Lac-Mégantic. Forty-seven of the town’s residents died in the ensuing inferno.
