“12 foot”?
This is what you call cutting corners in the building of the apartment block.
It’s a forty year old building, built on sand, in a state prone to sinkholes.
@Constituent A And built seaside on a rising warming hurricane-prone ocean.
This has a Florida Man story in it somewhere. Florida Man forgets something obvious while building an apartment complex…
And then, some inspector turned his head, as his pockets get lined.
forgot to wet his mud? Didn’t vibrate properly? Bad rebar installation causing voids?
My heart goes out to those who displaced from that collapsed condo.
I feel for the ones killed ,,,never mind displaced.. Insurance will take care of displaced
so.. we dont need infrastructure hmmmmm….. smh
Stop blowing up buildings to pass a bill
This is residential not government related..
Lol what does this have to do with infrastructure? Infrastructure is roads bridges pipelines not private property 😂
@The Omega Man stop passing gas and hot air out of your opinions
Instead of thoughts and prayers, how about electing competent governments that enforces build regulations, rather than corrupt clowns
Reminder Operation Mockingbird is still imbedding literal C.I.A. agents in corporate media outlets to spread controlled-opposition propaganda and divide/distract the public from establishment interests.
You can watch the Congressional hearing here on youtube with the testimony on the former president of CBS. Can also read up on the declassified documentation on Senate(dot)gov.
Congress is an inherently corrupt swamp of career shills, plagued by a mass dual-citizenship epidemic and can ultimately vote on their own Congressional term limits, lobbyism regulations, salaries, audits, etc… Don’t expect much.
Everyone is in bed with everyone now. It’s not about the political group. It’s about the dollar.
On Google Maps, you can see that many of the balconies have large cracks in them. The pictures are from January this year. I will let you jump to your own conclusions.
What’s the actual address? I’m trying to find it
@Jumo Beats 8777 Collins Ave.
@CommaCam ty
@movieman175 don’t be rude
Not only that there is large cracks running up the side of the building at least a inch wide wow unbelievable.
Imagine being on top of that one bunkbed you don’t wake up Until you feel the breeze on you and sun on you … I know I’d be sleeping through it ..Depends how deep your sleep is
Pinkie love depend what floor you are on yoiu might get nothing but concrete
Especially if you were out drinking and was totally out lol, which would definitely be me
That’s what happens when the building owners pocket all the profits and ignore maintenance. It’s the American way these days. $ > Human Life.
Well, technically the condo unit owners own the building. Many, I’m sure, lived in those units.
SINKHOLE START WITH CRACKS see how it went down the impact cause the shake up
When I worked construction in Florida decades ago, anytime concrete was laid such as in footers, a moisture barrier first had to be installed before the concrete was poured so I would not be surprised if that step was skipped in the construction of this building where eventually the concrete gave out.
In 1981?
@M S 1990s
Interesting. Something I just noticed on google maps is that the very large building to the south is brand new construction. Total speculation, but if the building was already in a weakened condition, could that have disturbed things enough to cause this?
@CommaCam possible but not probable.
Infrastructure…….someone forgot to put steel in the concrete
corrupt builders aka Florida man
Bruh that building is on stilts doesn’t look stuff at all
the last thing needed in a Red State like FL is job killing regulations and building inspections. i know the realtors are excited that new land is now open for development. wonderful
What’s being done for the survivors..do they have a place to go..basic needs being supplied for them? They just lost everything
12 foot condo? Prayers for victims and families.
I bet it was a sinkhole that took that building down
Natural thunder or lighting don’t take a building down… unless instead, it was a DEW Strike. 🤔
Wow. Will Florida get more money to compensate ?
What was the ratio of nationalities ?
Why weren’t there any warnings during inspections ?
Definitely a distraction from the major events in politics.
Those people did not deserve to die that way.
My condolences to the families.
