| Abstract: | ▪ Historically terrorist attack on buildings and other elements of the built environment
has generally taken one of the following forms:
- External bomb explosion (e.g. London 1992/93, Istanbul 2003)

- Impact (e.g. WTC New York 2001)
- Release of hazardous agent (e.g. Tokyo subway 1995) ▪ The effects of these attacks have included: - Catastrophic structural collapse - Structural damage without widespread collapse [excerpt from Technical information] |
