Computerized baggage systems would transport luggage with minimal error, while travelers relaxed in the bright, spacious interiors of the tubular buildings. But today 2E is welcoming only the investigators who are still trying to figure out why a 30-m section of one concrete, glass and metal tube collapsed last week, killing four people...
