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?

Buildings sometimes get pulled down due to structural issues. While terrorism isn't out of the question, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion yet. To my knowledge no one has reported hearing any sort of explosion.

He's mocking the crazies because you KNOW there are experts sitting on their couch right now who've realized this is a government operation to test a new material that can bring buildings down silently...

Perhaps that isn't the cause with this building since it is a relatively older building (40 years old), but many of the condo buildings/towers that were built in South Florida during the housing bubble in the 2000's and even in today's hot real estate market are built very quickly with safety/quality corners cut. I owned a condo property in a condo tower in Kendall/Pinecrest that was built in the mid 2000's and it was a nightmare of post-construction engineering defects that had to be corrected. Post-tension cable repairs, cracks throughout the structure of the building, the pool, which is situated between the two condo towers essentially sinking into the parking garage below, etc. |
