Subject: RE: BS: Building Inspectors, A--HOLES OR WHAT.
Back in 1973 in Fairfax County Va, a high rise buiding that was under construction collapsed due to not letting the concrete cure long enough. 14 People died and it touched off a round of code tightning and anal oriented inspectors like you wouldn't believe. It even bled over into other departments like the health departmentand into DC and Maryland.

For years it seemed like they just did not want anything built. It slowly faded away and now things seem to be back to normal.
