A bit harsh on the scientists in Italy, aren't they?!!
Penalty scale for geotechnical engineers in Italy....
1. Wrong soil classification.....10 years in jail
2. Incorrect prediction of long term settlement.......50 years at hard labor....the Pisa designers moved to France before being caught...still looking for them
3. Incorrect prediction of pile length...30 years + removal of all gelato privileges.
What's the real story with the earthquake prediction trial?
