The tenth and final perek of Massekhet Bava Metzia, Ha-bayit ve-ha’aliya, focuses on one specific situation – when a two story house that is owned by more than one person collapses, either completely or in part. How are the bricks to be divided up? What if the person who owned the bottom floor does not want to rebuild, but his upstairs neighbor does?
We explore the world of forensic science of building collapse.
