However, the large office buildings, blocks of flats, hotels, and so forth, equipped themselves with group shelters on ground-level and in their busements, on the lines of the protection hurriedly car- ried out in this country at the time of the crisis last year.

The explosion also makes a great pocket of rarefied air, and when the force of it has died away, the pressure of the atmosphere causes a rush of air back to All this hole." The result is equivalent to an enormous force of suction upon all surrounding structures. This suction is a type of strain which no building is designed to withstand, and is FO great that it is sufficient to pull the walls outward, leaving the floors without support, and thus leading to a complete. collapse.
