I watched[/B] a tornado rescue documentary. They found these folks that had been pinned and trapped for 3 days with no water. They were making unholy noises begging the rescuer for water.

I always think about that. Folks is wrapped in blankets inside a a big heavy ass coffin.


HELP THEM!

Whats it called?

The soil in Miami is pretty loose I heard
You could replace soil with hoes and the sentence will still be correct.

My immediate thought is that the building was built in 1981, so it's 40 years old and may have been undergoing renovations in certain parts of the building, which could've affected the foundation. Of course this is all just me speculating

40 years old is not old at all for a building if it as built correctly.
I'm not going to say that I know the exact quality of the building, but I'm just saying we have much older buildings in other cities that are in no danger of collapse.


That kind of collapse looks like a sinkhole, but then again i'm speculating as much as you

I don't even remember man. this was early 2000s. for all I know it wasn't even a documentary but one of those cable TV specials.

I just remember the traumatic sounds of that man begging for water. that's the kind of trauma I've never heard before.

edit. I did hear something equally traumatizing in that same time and it was some crime drama where a man got torture with a cattle prod and I guess they recorded it and it sounded pretty terrible

I wonder what caused it. Was it the construction mixed with weather conditions & a bad foundation?


I always think about stuff like this living in these NYC pre-war buildings built in the 30s/40s.





:merchant:

nah those buildings are strong, they were well-constructed. florida is the land of wham bam thank you mam and soft ground. nyc has solid bedrock.
