High rises sway in the wind but it’s part of how it’s constructed.
I think that’s what makes this so odd. Every city has dilapidated or abandoned buildings 80 plus years old that are still upright. They just look like crap.
This thing just collapsed in on itself
Could it just be a random event such as a sink hole?
A wife was on the phone with her husband - she was on the balcony. Last words that she spoke indicated that she could see the pool caving in and the building shaking. which means enough people on were aware of what was going on. It wasn’t as instantaneous as the video makes it out to be.

From her fourth-floor balcony, Cassondra Stratton felt a tremor and saw the deck of the swimming pool cave in. She immediately called her husband, Michael, in Denver, 2,000 miles away.
Stratton said he was speaking to his wife on the phone around 1:30 a.m. Thursday.
“She described that the building was shaking and then … the phone went dead,” said Stratton.
Michael listened as Cassondra, who had been riding out the pandemic at their apartment on the beach in Surfside, described a sudden shaking.
“And then the phone went dead,” he told Denver’s KDVR-TV.
“She screamed bloody murder and that was it,” Stratton’s sister, Ashley Dean, told The Washington Post.
Stratton flew back to Miami after he heard the news of the collapse. He said he is devastated.

Another Family said they received 16 phone missed calls from their grandparents - and the line went dead after
“But by Friday, the family received a total of 16 calls from the Notkin's landline.”
Buildings “wobble” all the time, ALL the time, that’s why engineers and structural planners design buildings to be able to withstand slight wind variations, acts of nature etc etc. The problem is with the type of land that the building is constructed on. Florida has a lot of marsh land which after time becomes less stable, more subject to erosion, not to mention floods, that dry land turns into clusters of swamp land. Like building a 10 story building on marshmallow as a foundation. As far as that building swaying, like I said buildings are designed to move however with Florida, the salt water, sand etc that’s circulating in the air weakens the steel, concrete, support beams- took an earth science class in the 9th grade and I remember the teacher showing us the affect that water can have on structures that are constantly exposed to it. Also if you think about it- the ocean is right under those buildings, they said the building was slowly wasting away since the 90s.
If people knew how much bridges sway, they sound never drive other them. This shyt looks like it was built out of rubber
There’s articles out there that said tenants wrote their concerns to the building owners, filed lawsuits - nothing was acted on. I said it before, people underestimate how vast and dangerous the ocean is.

I’m just a humble coli poster. It’s possible but the fact rescue crews are all over the area right after makes me think it’s probably not a sinkhole. The edge of the sinkhole would still be unstable.
You said it perfectly. Just bc one spot may be more stable, it could be totally different 50ft away. To the human eye, the soil spot you're building may look uniform to the others but it might not be underneath
The earth doesn't care about our buildings, or what we put up, it has its own mind and when it moves/settles it doesn't matter whats there.
IMO building a giant condo that close to the ocean is a bad idea. It may look like the sand stops on the beach, but that's just the exterior.
Yep, it's one thing to build a little beach hut house, but another to building condo with tons and tons of heavy concrete.Build your foundation on Sand Brehs

This article right here is heartbreaking. Some poor folks whose grandparents are both missing kept getting calls from their grandparents' landline phones that were next to their beds but they don't hear anything but static when they pick up. It happened 15 times since the building collapsed and they aren't sure if it's a glitch or if they are real calls. Last time they got a call was Friday night and they haven't gotten another call since.

This exactly why I would never live in skyscraper 
If I ever had NYC bread or Miami bread, we getting a townhouse or a house, you couldn’t pay me enough to live in a 50 story or 70 story building.

Wrong thread my bad 
On top of all of that, development is still continuing. So there’s the conditions of the land, an ocean below them and continued development in the area that can exacerbate things below ground even further. It’s why I keep saying, and will continue to say, that there’s too many of us. That’s an area that probably shouldn’t be as developed as it is.
I just hope the surviving families get broke off so other places take this shyt seriously.
