You do realize that neither house actually meets underneath the dome.

Well, maybe it can happen during a Congressional bake sale.

Okay, seriously, in terms of real architecture, if the dome collapsed, would the devastation spread to the two wings, or would they pretty much weather it without also collapsing?

Also, where is the underground train station that they use to come and go from their office buildings?

Anyway…hope it doesn’t happen. The building is actually kinda pretty.
