My very limited understanding is that high rise buildings are supposed to have multiple fail safes, and not collapse like that even if one of the supporting features fails.
In the Oklahoma City bombing a massive explosion ripped the entire front side and much of the structure off the building. No building is designed to withstand a terrorist with a huge bomb parked just feet from the front of the building.
Imagine that high rise in San Fransisco that is leaning several inches. That has to be a scary place to live, especially now.
