DC it if needed

I was just watching this. Absolutely horrific. Hopefully most of the dead never knew what hit them.

Good lord!!! I saw a report of 1 dead, and thought this must be a minor collapse. That's the whole damn building!!!

That would be terrifying to be in. I saw one video from inside
That tweet says 35 pulled out. That's good news. Watching the collapse, I'd have thought hardly anybody would have survived.

once in a while, something hits you and shocks you. This was it. Especially after seeing the building fall. Awful.

A surveillance cam recorded footage of someone local police are calling "a person of interest"

Most of those were rescued from the damaged part that is still standing. Only a couple pulled alive from the rubble pile so far.

This isn't necessarily reassuring now that I have a high rise condo under contract in Chicago

Chances are your Chicago building isn't standing on a giant sandbar.

One death confirmed and 51 unaccounted for. Just terrible.

Someone's ass is toast for this.

Hoping for the best news for those missing.

How does this happen? There was no earthquake or natural disaster. Was this just a giant engineering/construction failure? So tragic…

My money is on subpar materials that have degraded over time. Inspections should have caught it, but I'm sure that's easier said than done.

Hell, according to many, even a direct strikes from commercial airliners can't even cause a building to collapse. There had to have been thermite or explosives. Buildings don't just crash down on top of themselves, right?

Knew that was coming...
