Original PBS Broadcast Date: September 5, 2006 Following up its Emmy Award- winning documentary, “Why the Towers Fell,” NOVA probes the conclusions of the government’s engineering investigation into the World Trade Center’s collapse on 9/11, with updated analysis of the devastating attack and how subsequent knowledge gained will shape skyscrapers of the future. Yet is it practical or even possible to construct invincible buildings?

“Building on Ground Zero” features candid interviews with leading construction and safety experts, investigators, architects, and engineers—including Leslie Robertson, lead structural engineer of the original World Trade Center and Shanghai’s new World Financial Center, and Jake Pauls, occupants advocate and evacuation specialist. From the hallways of the newly erected World Trade Center 7 in New York, to China, where the world’s tallest building is midway to completion, NOVA explores the complex challenges of building tall buildings in the wake of 9/11.

Previously, it was natural threats to the safety of tall buildings—earthquakes, hurricanes, and the relentless force of the wind—that had driven structural engineering codes. But with the threat of terrorism, determined attackers have targeted even the most secure structures, forcing engineers and architects to consider what was once unimaginable.

In the months after 9/11, NOVA followed a team of engineers tasked by FEMA to study the Twin Towers’ collapse. Preliminary conclusions originally reported in “Why the Towers Fell” determined that the floors of the buildings may have “pancaked” down upon one another as their trusses failed. Now, with the benefit of years of additional investigation, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has revealed that no structural element was to blame for the buildings’ collapse.
