OP has claimed many times to be American but it's obvious through his broken English that he isn't.
Also. If you had read the entire article you would understand that the actual student was female.

Jew shear. Accomplished through proper placement of explosive devices.
Similar to Jewish lightning.

Cool story, but the details sound more like the student merely asked for calculations on wind shear that the Chief Structural Engineer hadn't considered:
Which makes the Engineer look like a moron, instead of the student a genius.

That's a little harsh.
He calculated the normal weak point and it was fine. This building was different, and the corners, normally the strongest points, were actually weaker.
Such is the risk of doing what's never been done before.
