It looks like the blocking or beam to beam ties were not installed which allowed the beams to fall over and buckle. I can understand if one beam collapsed but three beams collapsing leads me to believe they were not installed properly where each beam would be blocked before the next beam was installed. So maybe not the engineer's fault but rather the construction crew's fault.
