This is about the mall in Ontario that recently collapsed, and killed 2 people.

Two engineers who this year signed a letter declaring the Elliot Lake Algo Centre Mall structurally sound were found guilty of professional misconduct for work on an unrelated project by a provincial regulatory body in 2010.

The Ontario Provincial Police are conducting a criminal investigation into the Algo Centre’s collapse on June 23, which killed two people and injured several more. A judge was recently appointed to head a public inquiry.


Not surprising.

I don't think its too hard to see a structurally unsound building. The mall owners probably paid them off to sign.
