No they did not do the right thing. The right thin would have been to come up with the plan to fix the whole thing immediately and then communicate it to potentially affected people and organizations, especially the employees working in that building or buildings that would be destroyed in a collapse.
It is completely unacceptable to omit life threatening danger from people and “face saving” and also likely “cost saving” by not having to rent other office space to stay in until the corrective measures were taken, were put over the life’s of thousands of people.
Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.
The architect and engineers did the right thing though on that one. And they fixed it in place and created an evacuation plan if a hurricane had come.

Yeah, I kinda agree. They got lucky. Thousands would have died regardless of the evacuation plan if the right conditions came up.
I mean, yeah, but they could have decided that the eventual fines would be cheaper than the emergency fixes and let it happen.
