List of building and structure collapses
Appearance
![]() | This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: No differentiation between each type of structural failure, extremely hard to navigate. Transportation failures should be placed in their relevant accident lists. (February 2018) |
![]() | It has been suggested that portions of this article be split out into articles titled List of bridge failures, Dam failure, List of catastrophic collapses of radio masts and towers and List of aircraft structural failures. (Discuss) (February 2018) |
This is a list of structural failures and collapses, including some aircraft, bridges, dams, and radio masts/towers.
