+Unfortunately during the aftershock, the 41 story "Bank of Despair Tower" in downtown Greenfield collapsed in on itselves. The building was built in 1971 and was one of the tallest building in the city. It was located on the end of the elevated section of downtown, right nexto the bridge connecting central ashfield and downtown, the building had a beautiful view of the city, and the mountains behind.
-Unfortunately 21 minutes after the earthquake the 27 story "Bank of Despair Tower" in downtown Greenfield collapsed in on itselves. The building was built in the early 70s, and was located right nexto the bayfront. The parking garage under the building was going under maintanence and people claim that the construction company was at fault for the collapse, the company was sued and found guilty after they discovered a mistake on the main structure of the parking garage, holding up the office building. During the quake pillars of the parking garage collapsed, and 21 minutes after a explosion occured after a destroyed gas line set fire to a propane tank in the construction area, causing the main structure of the building to collapse. The collapse blocked the main road near the bay and also destroyed sides of surrounding buildings, changing the skyline forever.
+It collapsed due to a construction error. During the original quake the building stood, but had major destruction in the lobby and parking garage. One of the support beams for the western end of the tower was badly damaged, and collapsed during the aftershock, the northwest corner of the building collapsed, taking the rest of the building with it. The building fell onto the bridge and a few warehouses that stood beside the bridge.
-landslides occured in the mountains, blocking roads and interstates, disconnecting the city even more.
+This changed the skyline of the city forever, and many memorialize the building each year on january 17th.
