00:00While this canopy collapse at Delhi airport went viral, the airport authorities' response
00:04to it was equally eye-catching.
00:06As a part of the design's natural response to extreme conditions and to prevent excessive
00:09water retention, a section of the external tensile fabric at the T1 arrival forecourt
00:14adjusted under pressure, thereby aiding in water dispersal.
00:18Big words, don't you think?
00:19Pretty similar to how Elon Musk often describes SpaceX rocket explosions as instances of rapid
00:24unscheduled disassembly.
00:26On May 25, this canopy outside Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport collapsed
00:30after heavy rains.
00:32But many felt Delhi airport's response to the incident was yet another textbook example
00:36of how authorities conveniently dodge accountability.
00:39But to be fair to Delhi airport, some experts that more spoke to did say that these canopies
00:43are designed to prevent major damage to the structure.
00:46Think of them as the roadside crash barriers.
00:48But what do you think?
