جدار برلين
جدار برلين كان جدارا طويلا يفصل شطري برلين الشرقي والغربي والمناطق المحيطة في ألمانيا الشرقية، ولقد كان الغرض منه تحجيم المرور بين برلين الغربية وألمانيا الشرقية، وبدأ بناؤه في 13 أغسطس 1961، وجرى تحصينه على مدار الزمن، ولكن تم فتحه في 9 نوفمبر 1989 وهدم بعد ذلك بشكل شبه كامل.
مبنى بنك دويتشه
The collapse of 2 WTC during the September 11 attacks tore a 24-story gash into the واجهة المبنى of the Deutsche Bank Building. Steel and concrete were sticking out of the building for months afterward. This was eventually cleaned up, but due to extensive contamination it was decided that the 39 story ruin was to be taken down. After the 9/11 attacks, netting was placed around the remains of the building. The bank maintained that the building could not be restored to habitable condition, while its insurers sought to treat the incident as recoverable damage rather than a total loss. Work on the building was deferred for over two years during which the condition of the building deteriorated.
