Oh, that's just not right. I'm going to start doing pushups now so I can climb out if this ever happens to me.

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. |

Heard they recently built a high rise next to this and that it created cracks in the pool, etc... Sinkhole wouldn't surprise me either.

That's probably a market segment that doesn't currently know they have an underlying motivated to exercise.... afraid of being trapped in a sinkhole; have you watched Silence of the Lambs one too many times...

I heard on the news over lunch that the building had undergone a routine city building inspection YESTERDAY and passed.

Hmm...very suspicious. I bet if we looked deep enough we'd find that China is at the bottom of this. Quote:

That's no good.
I bet some of the missing will turn out to be people who were elsewhere on vacation or something, but the fact that this happened at 1:30 am doesn't bode well. That's probably a time of maximum occupancy.
