After heavy rain on Saturday, June 28, 2014, an eleven story underconstruction building at Moulivakkam in the suburb of Chennai, Tamil Nadu collapsed, killing 61 people, mostly construction workers. We have been investigating this case by means of computer simulation to show side by side the differing outcomes of collapse simulations that represent the opposing theories. Our virtual collapse simulations are based on real physics and represent the reality to a high degree.
