Is a smooth intersection of hypersurfaces equidimensional? Let $X$ be a smooth projective complex algebraic variety. Let $V_i$, for $i=1,\dots, n$, be a collection of (smooth) connected hypersurfaces such that, for all $I\subseteq [n]$, the intersection $\cap_{i \in I} V_i$ is smooth.
Is the intersection $\cap_{i=1,\dots, n} V_i$ equidimensional?
Added later:
If we take $V_i$ to be smooth effective (possible non ample) divisors, is the intersection $\cap_{i=1,\dots, n} V_i$ equidimensional?
 A: If the intersection $\cap_{i=1}^nV_i$ is irreducible, then it is equidimensional. Otherwise let $r<n$ be such that $\cap_{i=1}^rV_i$ is irreducible, but $A:=\cap_{i=1}^{r+1}V_i$ is not. If $\dim\cap_{i=1}^rV_i\geq 2$, then $A$, being an effective ample divisor, is connected, so if it is smooth, then it is irreducible, contradicting the choice of $r$, so $\dim\cap_{i=1}^rV_i\leq 1$. Then $A$ is either empty or a finite set and hence equidimensional. (You can also remark, that it is not needed that all intersections are smooth, just that there is a sequence of getting to $\dim\cap_{i=1}^nV_i$ through smooth intersections).
On the other hand, if you only assumed that the ultimate intersection is smooth, then this is not true: 
Let $V_1,V_2\subseteq \mathbb P^3$ be two quadric surfaces that share a tangent plane. Then $V_1\cap V_2$ is the union of two intersecting lines, say $\ell_1, \ell_2$. Now let $V_3$ be a third quadric that contains $\ell_1$ but does not contain $\ell_2$. Then $V_3$ intersects $\ell_2$ in two distinct points, one of which is on $\ell_1$. Let $P$ be the intersection point of $V_3$ and $\ell_2$ which is not on $\ell_1$. Then 
$V_1\cap V_2\cap V_3=\ell_1\cup \{P\}$. Which is smooth but not equidimensional. Of course, this can only be done if the intersection is the union of a positive dimensional irreducible component and a set of points.
