#Florida #Miami #BuildingCollapse
RIP to the victims! I can’t even imagine the horror and terror in them moments before their bodies gave up on them.
That’s hilarious, no one should be sad that Americans got what they fought for. You people wanted to spend decades deflecting all criticism while blindly bragging about how great you are? Well then, this is what you get. Zero pity for self inflicted wounds from the most arrogant and morally bankrupt nation on earth.
Like with guns, nothing will make these people realize there are costs of deregulation.
@KVM
At least they have their guns to secede
This is not a matter of regulations or their lack. This a matter of climate change eating the barrier islands. It is not a matter of how the building was built, but where it was built.
@ruth depew The building collapsed 1 day after inspection. (Btw…inspections are a regulation)
@ruth depew can it be both? 🤷
@Eidelmania you?
Rising sea level undermines foundations. Expect this more often.
That I believe
We can do august
It’s strange actually cos I’ve seen photos of my local coastline over the last 100 years and the sea levels literally haven’t changed at all
I wonder how many of these multi-story buildings on the barrier will have to collapse, before they see the pattern.
@N W wow you must be living on another planet bc literally every scientist who studies the oceans can tell you it’s rising
This is why we better regulations; they save lives
Regulators!! Mount up!
We have better regulations, they’ve changed for the better. You don’t see new buildings doing this. This one is 40 years old. But I do know this, nobody knows why this fell yet. Think of how many hurricanes this building has seen in that time. I’m curious, but not presumptuous this early in the investigation.
Don’t worry. Desantis is putting prayer back in schools to fix it
Smh . They are the evil that curses this world. They are the only across the world and they have their disasters
🙈 yeah, priorities.
Those were screams of people saying “DeSantis has ruined our state”!
Yeah DeSatan!
Just as bad as the rest always talking politics and making it us vs them
this is what you get when constructed by lowest bidder, low wage labor, and lack of maintenance using qualified personnel.
Not properly maintaining or fixing structural issues on a 40 year old building over the years is going to be more to blame. I wouldn’t blame the original builders so quickly. Could be, but my money is on owner ignorance.
@J Greenseed ditto
Hey Marco Rubio!
So about blocking that Infrastructure bill. How’s that all coming along?
The bill mentions nothing about building structures. Adding and fixing roads that generally no one uses. And none for the ones the majority of American’s use daily. Upgraded WiFi in well to do neighborhoods and no new infrastructure to those that have none. Killing fuel based businesses to introduce “Green Energy” that, ironically, uses fuel to operate. With much of that fuel being bought overseas. There’s many reasons to oppose it. And many reason with a revised version to the “infrastructure” that needs the help for it to go forward. There’s no need to beautify a good road and leave a bad one to become unusable. Theres no fixing if what needs to be fixed isn’t fixed…first. It historically fails.
I knew it. I knew it. I told my wife that somehow, someway the right was going to make this Biden’s fault even though it’s in bloodshot red Florida ran by bloodshot red a$$holes.
G-d hates Florida lol
There are skyscrapers older than that condo that don’t buckle
“..10 And he said unto me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand.
11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one still be sanctified.
12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, that I may reward every man according to his works.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last.
14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter the city by the gate.
15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness.
16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to bear witness to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star.
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is desirous take the water of life freely.
18 And I also bear witness to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away from him his part in the book of life, and in t7he holy city, and in what is written in this book.
20 He who bears witness to these things says, ” I am coming soon.” Amen to that. Hey, come on, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen to that.”
Revelation of John the Evangelist, 22:10-21
“And he says, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3: 2).
“But as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the coming of the Son of Man: for as in the days before the flood they ate, and drank, and married, and were married, until the day Noah entered the ark, and did not think until the flood came and destroyed them all, so will be the coming of the Son of Man; then there will be two in the field: one is taken, and the other is left; two grinding in the millstones: one is taken, and the other is left. Watch therefore, for you do not know at what hour your Lord will come”(Matthew 24: 32)
“Look What DeSantis Has Done”! “Look What DeSantis Has Done”! Sorry, I just finished watching “Paul” on the Net.
welcome to 3rd world america.
alot of stuff falls down here, who pays of the govenment to get the ok ?
Insurance companies are spurting coffee
Infrastructure-NO, regulations-NO. Machine guns for all-YES.
OSHA needs to be all over this – regardless of their perception/reputation. Buildings shouldn’t just fall TF down in the USA. That happens in ‘s-holes’, right? WTF was going on to make this one come down? Major disregard and “not-give-a-damn-ness” in cutting corners for profit.
Heads should roll…
This is why no one should live in a right to work, deregulated state. There are no building codes except the bare minimum. They expect the general public to be experts in everything so they can make an informed choice and not buy a bad item, including houses. But at least everyone can carry concealed in a few months in Texas with no training so that will solve all their problems, right? At least until a strong wind blows down their homes.
Looks like somebody is in big trouble.
They must have cheated on the building materials
Is salty beach sand as bad as they say for concrete mix and rusting out rebar? Contractors wired on cocaine have weird decision-making skills.
