Talk:The Bathtub

November 2006
Merger suggestion This is a specific engineering topic and should be merged into the main World Trade Center article or the World Trade Center site article. Dogru144 20:38, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure about merging yet. The topic also related to Slurry wall.  The construction of the WTC was the first time the innovative "slurry" method was used, and has been used countless times since.  Among other things I'm working on, I would like to see the World Trade Center article reach featured status.  I have a number of books and other sources to work with, having already brought the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey up to good article status.  We also have Collapse of the World Trade Center which covers some of the "design and construction" aspects.  The material here needs to be sourced better, which I can help with.  In the end, I think including all the "design and construction" details in the main WTC article will make it too long.  Thus, I think we ultimately will need a subarticle on the Design and construction of the World Trade Center (which I just started by cutting & pasting text I was working on; I will come back later to wikify, fix up more, and add images).  Maybe the "bathtub" can be merged into there? It needs sources before that should happen. --Aude (talk) 21:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * PS. I see that you are working on Health effects of September 11, 2001 attacks. Looks good. --Aude (talk) 21:09, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose merger because this specific engineering topic is very important to the story of the World Trade Center site, which came close to flooding out during the first few weeks after the buildings collapsed, with the potential for enormous damage to the PATH and MTA tunnels near the bathtub area. Far more information and citations are needed for this article. --DThomsen8 (talk) 22:16, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

I've just changed the first use of "endangered" to "jeopardized" which seems more appropriate. However, the rest of the sentence is inconsistent with the concept of both "endangering" and "jeopardizing" which connote a potential risk/outcome. "causing them to sink" is clearly supposing a given fact. So where is the reference to that fact? If true, the sentence would become much simpler. If unsourced, the problem goes away by inserting "possibly leading them to sink". Are we sure they would sink or would severe flooding have occurred? Keep this in the general 1969 construction context. We are explaining why a bathtub was needed.4eyes (talk) 01:31, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
