The point is concrete has a finite life. Of course it lasts longer with proper design, construction and care. At some point in the near future very many buildings and structures will need to be replaced. I wonder if this incident will bring that up to the public.

How is it that so many Roman sites, made from concrete are still standing after 2,000 years?
So the Empire State building will need to be torn down soon? It is 90 years old.
