Had the architect ordered ground samples testing moisture and checked subterranean conditions, this would not have happened. Someone's ass is grass / Someone is going to be blamed with reckless negligence.
EDIT: I am not an architect, but I had a similar conversation with a colleague at my school about the Tacoma Bridge, and her professor stressed to her that "Someone's ass was held responsible" for not considering the natural frequency of the bridge.
