You may be right. But her knowledge and info isn’t any less credible than the dumbfukks in this thread who don’t know shyt about Florida and get their knowledge from dumbass memes. Gotta admit breh, there’s been a lot of dumb shyt posted in this thread.

Ok everything you said I can agree with but it's a red state, nikka these red state cacs was some of the first ones denying climate change and building their luxury condos on sinkholes... are you gonna ask if desantis gonna have these buildings surveyed and inspected?!? probably not because republicans don't care about science or people's lives. Only profit and staying on power.

Apparently neither do democrats. These sinking cities are filled with liberals who believe in global warming, but still migrate to these cities and neighborhoods anyways. Hell, Miami Beach has a liberal Democrat mayor who fully believes in global warming and who has roasted DeSantis and the Florida conservatives(rightfully so). But he still doesn’t discourage ppl from moving to areas that will be underwater in the next 6 decades or so. It’s one thing to be pro infrastructure, but these fools(of either political persuasion) migrate to the coasts and build and develop land in areas that they know will either run out of water or will be underwater. And they act like they’re gonna “stick it to the conservatives\red states” just because they have ideas that’ll very temporarily mitigate mother nature’s ultimate course, but ultimately choose to stick it out in these cities and won’t try to keep people from moving too and investing in these towns.

Wouldn't be surprised if an entire week passes before they recover everyone

Maybe longer than that.. how do you even secure the site without demolishing the remainder of the building..

Man what’s wrong with you nikkas with the corny ass jokes in this thread?


This shyt ain’t a game. The fukk is wrong with you nikkas

Just looking at all that dirt and debris/rubble and seeing just how tight and packed it is into the ground god damn that is straight torture .


Most of the building is completely crumbled, meaning most people roofs fell directly on them, along with everything above them.

This company knew this shyt was possible, this shyt is so fukked up man I'm sad about this shyt.

Things like a metal bunk bed could have a kid alive, maybe somebody was in the tub and is caught between 2 bath tubs and is protected right now, some bed frames than has tops to it.

I don't think anything else outside of pure luck could protect somebody. There is no spaces in that rubble. That shyt is packed tight as hell smh.

Can ya'll point to exactly what it is about that tweet that makes is so credible to you guys? Because this does not look like a sinkhole to me at all but i could be wrong. I just feel like you have all these twitter experts chiming in and when you go on their twitter page they have no credentials whatsoever. Thick who retweeted this is some vdiva wanna be trying to get attention. THe dude who's tweet she retweeted just keeps posting random theories about the incident. The one article that mentions sinking didnt mention sinkhole particularly. New Orleans is sinking. No building has collapsed there that we know of. Sinkholes which happen much faster are rare and for whatever reason this doesnt seem like one because i would have expected a huge crater.

Again im no expert just trying to understand why ya'lll believe the sinkhole theory

I guess it’s easier to write paragraphs asking a question, than to type in “reclaimed wetlands” on your computer, pull up a scientific journal with articles by experts to avoid substantiating facts in this thread, because of your feelings.

Did you really just type out no building in New Orleans collapsed- did Hurricane Katrina escape your memory?


And I think NASA is a rather verifiable source- you know, considering Earth. But yeah, it’s perfectly logical to wait for buildings to start collapsing before starting to worry about structural stability and infrastructure sustainability.



New Orleans and surrounding areas continue to sink at highly variable rates due to a combination of natural geologic and human-induced processes, finds a new NASA/university study using NASA airborne radar.



The observed rates of sinking, otherwise known as subsidence, were generally consistent with, but somewhat higher than, previous studies conducted using different radar data.



The research was the most spatially-extensive, high-resolution study to date of regional subsidence in and around New Orleans, measuring its effects and examining its causes. Scientists at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California; UCLA; and the Center for GeoInformatics at Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, collaborated on the study, which covered the period from June 2009 to July 2012.

The highest rates of sinking were observed upriver along the Mississippi River around major industrial areas in Norco, and in Michoud, with up to 2 inches (50 millimeters) a year of sinking. The team also observed notable subsidence in New Orleans’ Upper and Lower 9th Ward, and in Metairie, where the measured ground movement could be related to water levels in the Mississippi. At the Bonnet Carré Spillway east of Norco -- New Orleans’ last line of protection against springtime river floods overtopping the levees -- research showed up to 1.6 inches (40 millimeters) a year of sinking behind the structure and up to 1.6 inches (40 millimeters) a year at nearby industrial facilitie

Do Business Journals work for you? Outside of posting corny dumbass animal gifs for daps- what’s your expertise besides being a Twiiter Opponent on Opining?
Cities and towns that are sinking rapidly in the US

• Multiple cities and towns in the US have seen their land dip lower, which could damage infrastructure and make them more vulnerable to flooding.
• The main cause of sinking land is often excessive groundwater pumping, which creates a change in pressure and volume that causes the land to cave in.
• Parts of New Orleans and Houston are sinking at a rate of 2 inches per year.
• Areas of the Central Valley in California are sinking even faster.

you do realize Google gives you a choice to locate other sources besides Twitter? What about university professors?

“The 2020 study conducted by FIU Institute of Environment Professor Shimon Wdowinski identified the 12-story Champlain Towers South condominium as the one place on the east side of the barrier island where land subsidence was detected from 1993 to 1999,” FIU said in a post on its website. “But land subsidence in and of itself likely would not cause a building’s collapse, according to Wdowinski, an expert in space geodesy, natural hazards and sea level rise.”

seems like it’d be impossible to brace yourself for it, even if you standing in the middle of your living room when it happens you gon be fukked

pretty much no matter what you doing in your crib if this happens you’d be fukked

whether you at the top or bottom floors you fukked, at the bottom you bout to have a ton of shyt falling that could kill you and at the top you falling however many feet and crashing into all type of shyt on the way down

just a terrible situation overall

You looked up that “gif” to post but couldn’t look up answers to your own questions. like that gif isnt symbolic of a selfie for self adulation as you lack any self awareness thinking that shyt you posted isn’t any different than her selfie - attention. And you’re a grown ass man, at least over the age of 35 if you’ve been here since 2003 as your sig states- she’s looks very young. That’s who you chose to base your response on and throw shade on?

Yes and I remember when I was real little not understanding why each night before I went to bed, my mom had me pray:



"Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

If I should die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take."










I understand that prayer fully now though.

My pops taught me and my brother this prayer. It was special when he'd be home to say with us on his off nights

Pretty much. Not to mention, Surfside/Miami Beach is liberal as hell. All this dumb fukking shyt in this thread about state governance ignoring infrastructure because Florida is a “rEd sTaTe” is fukking stupid. This has to be the dumbest thread on the coli. Global warming is effecting every fukkin city from red states to blue states. Even New York City is sinking in many spots, because slot of those marshlands in the eastern boroughs(Queens and Brooklyn) weren’t meant to have massive high rise apartment buildings built on that land. Meanwhile California, Colorado and other western states are in the middle of a fukking drought, because irrigation to these massive western cities and their infrastructure is completely depleting historic water sources in the west. Bbbut fLoRiDa iS a rEd StaTe. Fools in here talking about slave revolts and spirits and dead native Americans spirits that loom over the cursed ground of Florida. I swear the Coli is filled with a bunch of dap fishing dumb fukks. You dumb fukks make my fukkin head hurt.

The political statements were more a call out of the build quality in that state as per the government leniency. You didn't invalidate any of that by deflecting to liberals living there. Who runs shyt long term generally affects shyt like build standards and quality of infastructure as well as shyt like inspections that would be on top of issues like the sinking foundation since the 90's...

Oh, you do have a point. You’re not completely wrong. But Capitalism is capitalism no matter which party it is. When you have an economy that’s heavily reliant on tourism, and real estate\summer homes, then you’re gonna have scumbags who cut corners for the bottom dollar. What were the political affiliations of the whistleblowers when it came to condo development in Surfside Fl?

Is the condo collapse a global warming issue, or was it just a shoddy inspector issue? If it was the former, than there’s a deeper political discussion to be had regarding climate change denial by asshats like Governor Deshytty. But there’s no intelligent politics discourse in this thread. It’s shytty dapfishing and memeing and speculation. It’s just hard for the coli not to make the biggest of stretches about things they have no fukkin clue about. A lot of the dumb fukkin shyt in this thread can be invalidated. I’ve been on this forum long enough to gauge dapfishing vs serious political discourse. And it’s easy to know who’s actually properly informed about the states and cities in which they speak on.. Florida is a hurricane prone state for one, so the “build quality” in the state is stricter than most, since many parts of the state are at mother nature’s mercy. And given the fact that it’s one of the fastest growing states, a huge chunk of the state was developed after Hurricane Andrew in 1992, when building codes were significantly upgraded. Every now and again, you may have incidents like sinkholes in certain areas and shoddy building, but for the most part you can’t even construct a small school or even a church without passing state inspections. Of course, it varies city to city based on the local economy and the demand for more development. The barrier islands of Miami being heavily reliant on tourism, real estate, and having so much development already you can see how certain problems would be ignored due to time constraints, demand, and ultimately the bottom dollar. More will come out as we wait. Again, we have whole cities that are sinking and facing their own infrastructure problems in red and blue controlled states. The oversimplification of “Well, this is just what happens in red states” is just unfortunate.
