[narrator] The investigation
also revealed that the wall was lighter
and narrower than originally designed. [Jack] Any small changes, even if they're
seemingly harmless, can drastically change
the loads on a structure and can cause
that structure to fail. [narrator]
Although the reasons
for the design change remain unknown, the failure of the wall
had far-reaching consequences. [Javiera] There was, like,
80 total homes at first that they said
were possibly affected
