It is interesting that the NTSB said in effect that they did not intend to point fingers of blame for the collapse, and then proceeded to point the finger of blame at the designers.  But apparently, if the designer no longer exists, there is no finger of blame.Here is an interesting article that seems to be going against the popular orthodoxy that the question of what caused the collapse is settled.<a href="http://www.twincities.com/ci_7992046?source=rss&nclick_check=1">http://www.twincities.com/ci_7992046?source=rss&nclick_check=1</a>It mentions that there was considerable corrosion on the very plates that were made too thin by the flawed design.  The corrosion made them even thinner.  Here is a quote from the article: Jim Schwebel, a lawyer who represents the surviving relatives of three victims, said those issues are worthy of follow-up. "If investigators have any of (the gusset plates) that were compromised by corrosion, you've got to put that into the computer model," Schwebel said. "Do they have a right to make that assumption (that corrosion wasn't a factor) if they see that the plates are undersized? And if they don't see that, are they blind?"
