They are going to have to check every single one of those anchoring bolts. I'm not a mechanical or civil engineer, but that would have to be one heckuva an epoxy to hold up to the stress of several tons of tension over a long period of time.

Exactly. No adhesive is stronger than the surrounding material.
In this case the concrete was DEFECTIVE (but they gave money to Reilly),
so UNFORTUNATELY they are forgiven.

I couldn't believe they did that. Amazing...
