Mac Arthur Maze Fire Collapse in "California Magazine"

Dear SEAINT Friends: If you are interested in our work studying the
collapse and reconstruction of the MacArthur Maze , which collapsed on
April 29th due to a tanker truck fire, there is an article in
Sept/October 2007 issue of the "California Magazine" published by UC
Berkeley. I welcome any and all of your professional comments and
questions, regarding any aspect of our MacArthur Maze research project
. You can post such professional items here, but, if you feel an urge to
make a personal comment you will need to send them to me at
Hassan@Astaneh.net without posting publicly.

The article is at:

The project was also featured in "Lehrer News Hour" of the Public
Broadcasting System in a report by Spencer Michels of the PBS Science
Unit aired on May 10, 2007. The URL for this text/audio/video report is:
