The Petronas Towers, also known as the Petronas Twin Towers and the KLCC Twin Towers, are 88-storey supertall skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. At 451.9 metres (1,483 feet), they are the world's tallest twin skyscrapers. Between 1998 and 2004, they were the tallest buildings in the world before being surpassed by Taipei 101.[1]
Coverage[]
The Petronas Towers is featured in Bound and Buried.
It was introduced in 1 week after people where the Petronas Towers soar over the vacant city of Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. The show gave information that they're are the world's tallest twin buildings, connected by a skybridge that is the highest ever built. Gordon Masterton stated that the skybridge sits about 400 feet in the air and bridging across the 41st and 42nd floors making it a unique feature. In the time of humans, two separate events, Alain Robert tried to scale one of the 1,483-foot towers with his bare hands, both times he climbed 60 floors before allowing himself to be apprehended. After people, only the sun climbs its walls.
The skybridge crashes on top of the mall.
In 75 years after people, the steamy tropical heat have corroded the supports under the skybridge where steel is crucial. Gordon Masterton stated that the skybridge is constructed primarily in steel and it is vulnerable to natural decay. Corrosion have buckles a supporting leg and turning the skybridge into a one-way elevator before crashing into the Suria KLCC mall below. While the twin towers are made of super-strength columns remain intact, their connection is each other is severed forever.
In 500 years after people, the Petronas Towers may be the tallest structure still standing on Earth thanks to an extraordinary quirk in the design because in the of humans, it is the tallest buildings in the world to be supported by a frame of concrete. Gordon Masterton stated that most skyscrapers around the world are steel-framed but for Malaysia, it doesn't have an indigenous steel industry making it unique.
The Petronas Towers begins to collapse.
Its fate is then revealed that 500 years of exposure to tropical sun and torrid humidity have weakened the super-strength cement which finally fails the weakened concrete towers. The collapse begins where the columns are thinnest, at the top, causing the tower to collapse. The cascading and tilt from one tower triggers the collapse of the other, and in seconds, the monumental structures are reduced to rubble. Gordon Masterton stated that it will be a progressive effect where both towers collapsed in a crashing heap to the ground at the same time. It will took only a matter years before the walls of jungle have buried the trace of the buildings.
