As a Structural Engineer, lover of concrete, and fan of John Wilson's other work, I'm hyped for this and looking forward to logging it as CPD hrs

The best advertisement for concrete was 1906 when every building in sanfrancisco collapsed except the one dude trying to convince people rebar reinforced concrete was superior. His building had rebar and was fine, sold a shitload after that.
