Somewhere there’s a structural engineer who’s in a lot of trouble.

Expect a lot more of that in the future.

Someone forgot the fact water is heavy. I read of this happening to a motel in Nebraska a lot of yrs ago. The engineer forgot to add in the water weight. Luckily this was caught before they filled the pool.

Assuming one actually did the calcs, drawings, etc leading to specific construction details ...
