The fact that there hasn't been a single video of a survivor being pulled out and that only 10 have been confirmed dead is a little wild to me.

When this happens in third world countries, you usually get one or two morale-boosting videos of children, grandmothers being pulled from the rubble. Here, nothing.
Third world countries make shoddy buildings to hold a few people. But they make a lot of them crowded next to each other.

We make are shoddy buildings with two pools and underground parking to cram a bunch of people into $500 thousand dollar apartments with ocean views.

Bullshyt… :unimpressed:

The building was janky as fukk… Funny how one of the hotels along Collins Ave don’t have those issues.. Hotel owners don’t play that dont leaving their properties is disrepair.. They make sure their properties are up to code

This. People going on about the sea and all type of wild shyt. The entire eastern seaboard is filled with highrises, shyt all over the world, and out of these thousands of building s nothing like this happened. Not saying high sea levels won't be an issue in the future, but this right here is most likely due to neglect

So going by chance of survival, do those at the top floors have the greatest amount compared to the bottom floor ?

Bottom floors have more stuff fall on top of them , but top floors fall from a higher height.
honestly want to know too

cs....I also hate how the streets in these crowded a$$ areas are basically one ways now, you have to pull over to let the other driver pass.

Hell
Florida is like North Korea when it comes to what information it allows to be publish.

Man them HOA be the biggest scams ever, when something break the residents group in to fix it. I heard the HOA or Condo board wanted residents to pay for the repairs, it was like 9 million dollars.

This is money, the residents didn't have it or probably complained about the high fees and maintenance and the HOA held off on some things, the building was in bad shape to have people in. This is a huge disaster and laws will change because of it and all them crooks will go north to minority areas to continue the neglect... they know they messed with them white folks and it's a wrap for them.

We was thinking about going there for our anniversary in September. Not so sure now, might look somewhere else.
Nah you can still go.. what I meant by the keys being a wrap is prob 50 years or 100 years from now.. As for right now it’s a nice vacation spot I def recommend it

you would also see everyone and their mother helping to move that shyt in a third world country not just the authorities because they often are incompetent and waiting on help from outside.

they barely got into that rubble after day one. the efforts for rescue have been severely underwhelming to say the least

Rescuers rotate in 12-hour shifts; none severely injured
Hundreds of Miami-Dade County fire rescue workers rotated in 12-hour shifts at the collapse site, searching for any signs of survivors. No rescue workers have been severely injured, but one worker took a 25-foot tumble, officials said.

"Every time there is an action, there is a reaction," said Raide Jadallah, assistant chief of rescue operations for the Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue Team, describing what he called a complex search-and-rescue operation.

Family members saw the danger firsthand Sunday when authorities allowed them to tour the site. "They witnessed a rescuer tumble 25 feet down the mound," he said.

Mayor Burkett said Tuesday that debris from the shattered edge of the part of the building that still stands fell overnight, causing the western part of the structure to be cordoned off because it was too dangerous to work there.

A portion of the tower that is standing remains a threat to first responders working directly below, said Alan Cominsky, Miami-Dade County Fire Rescue chief.

"We are constantly monitoring (the structure)," he said. "We have seismic graphs, lasers that are monitoring certain cracks on the building. ... Right now, we have been reassured, based on what we have seen, that the building has had no movement. So that's why we continue working."

Prosecutors pursue investigation, federal agency to conduct extensive probe
Prosecutors in Florida will pursue a grand jury investigation into the deadly collapse, officials said Tuesday.

Levine Cava said at a news conference that she fully supports such an investigation. State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle said she would bring the matter before grand jurors soon.

A federal investigation into what caused the Champlain Towers South collapse is already underway, officials said Monday afternoon at a news conference.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said he spoke with representatives of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, who will conduct an investigation into the causes of the collapse. The NIST, founded in 1901, investigated the 9/11 terrorist attacks and other incidents, including the Rhode Island nightclub fire in 2003, a tornado in Joplin, Missouri, in 2011 and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico in 2017.

"They have never done just a straight building collapse that wasn't involved with either hazards or acts of terrorism," DeSantis said. "This is going to be something that is important, and it is something that is going to be very thorough. ... It is going to take a long time. That is the kind of horizon they work on.''

DeSantis said more immediate investigations conducted by Miami-Dade County and the town of Surfside could shed some light more quickly and alluded to the possibility of state regulatory changes if necessary after those assessments.

"If there are things that need to be done at the state level, we obviously would want to get information as soon as possible," DeSantis said.
