collapses, live may be lost, property will be damaged or destroyed. The
building will be left uninhabited as the occupants will now have to seek
shelter elsewhere; the environment will lose its aesthetic value as there will
be debris, rubbers or litters everywhere which may lead to further injury and
even death. When poisonous substance are release into the air or water such as
in cases of acid rain, bomb-blast and nuclear reaction. Oil spills from
