Even every building in worldwide made after 2008 all are time bomb, Unless you’re funding and supervise it from 0. There’s plenty of greedy developers/contractors who wants to squeeze every pennies.

In my observation in asia, most property will have their roof leaking only after 3/5 years and the wall starts to crack around the same year..

I witnessed this 10 acre “modern mansion” being built from ground up in borneo, they got this weak concrete brick that’ll crumble easily(might explain the crack in wall).

It’s wall are also uneven, ugh! Plus cheap lighter woods without any anti termite coating. Wtf! this all reminded me of Hollywood prop house that they’ll made for an explosion scene...

No backyard, cramped front parking space surge/grounding protection

all you can get for whopping $200,000 whoa!
Imagine that type of construction for 12th story building..
It’s a nightmare! (Wait wasn’t there’s viral video from china like 10 years ago too?!) my theory is other country catching up to this dirty tricks real quick..

[sorry if old comment]

Unfortunately people survived, but died in the rubble because they couldn't be rescued in time. :(

It's horrible when a building collapses like this. People are caught in pockets deep below...but, how do you remove the tons of crap on top of them without it ALL finishing collapsing in on itself, killing the people trapped in between?

It's just impossible. They can remove one layer at a time to prevent further collapse, but with a building of this size it takes so long that people die.

We can survive 3 weeks without food, but only 3 days without water and 3 minutes without air...

I remember hearing about a woman in the collapse who was trapped and kept calling out to the rescuers for help, but the rescuers couldn't reach her safely. After a few days, they didn't hear her anymore.

It's honestly so horrific to think about being trapped and dying like that.

I'm in an area with high earthquake risk in Europe. Once the pool started to sag, first thing to do was cut the beams to isolate the pool and condemn the pool. A week job would have saved the building. That's cheap Turkish hotel style of building, the pool will sag and will pull on the parking lot, nothing to see there. What is amazing to see is they kept the pool, risking to lose the entire building. And when you pay what these people payed, you can't tell them pool is closed

@_xo3ah1_ apparently you didn't read my first comment. I literally stated just that about problems reported as early as the 90's with no course of action taken.

I remember hearing the 911 calls from people trapped beneath the rubble,. You could hear how scared they were but there was more than just fear in their voices, there was also audible relief. Because they survived the collapse and they were able to alert first responders where they were, they believed the worst was over and they would soon be rescued,.. My heart broke when I found out none of them were rescued and they all perished 😔🤍🕊️

This still angers me to this day. So much negligence led to this happening. It breaks my heart for all the victims, and it pisses me off that some people on the news were calling this an accident and acting like no one had any idea anything was wrong. Even when this happened, I've seen enough of these videos to know it wasn't just a tragic, unexpected accident.

@Richard Beman Exactly! Between that, construction of nearby buildings, and just...ignoring the fact that the building was clearly falling apart(Let's spend money on making our lobby pretty instead of fixing all these things that are broken!")...it was such a mess. So many contributing factors, so many warnings, and no one in power actually took it seriously until disaster happened.

Those condos were built in an era of "Miami Cocaine trade" and the Mafia needed a means of laundering money, so they turned to building construction. These buildings were designed for "glitz appeal" and the construction was not up to code, the materials were cheap and the price was not cheap ( I think a basic unit was 135K back many years ago ). Over the years, heavy and gaudy "improvements" took place ( Marble and tile floors, heavy bathroom and kitchen fixtures, which weighed as much as up to 6 automobiles per unit ). Walls were removed to give an "open concept" appearance which further weakened the structure.. Building inspectors and politicians were paid off and they "looked the other way"..

I can't imagine the daily horrors he feels just remembering the whole thing + survivor guilt. He can't be near tall buildings and scared with the sound of thunder as it sounds the same when the building collapsed.

I also can't imagine the fear of pets who were buried alive.

One of my dear childhood friends lived there and didn’t survive. His Godson was visiting him and decided to stay one extra night with him before flying him. Both perished. My friend had been trying to get me to visit so he could show me the sights of Miami. This hit too close to home. The only solace is to tell myself they died quickly and didn’t know what hit them.

The last several years I have worked/lived in several high rises just like this and a collapse was always my biggest fear, especially seeing how horrid the conditions of some of these apartments and condos are. Property management and owners do not want to spend the money to repair and maintain these structures and instead just want to sit back and collect rent and condo fees. I live in Canada but I can't imagine it's any better in Florida.

Florida has since changes many laws regarding high rise condos.

As they say: Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. The conditions that led to this building collapse are eeriely similar to many other building collapse disasters throughout history, and they all have the same contributing factors: Greed and negligence.

I remember seeing this all play out practically live. Everyone I talked to during that time were focused on how long it took to recover everyone and how it was one of the scariest unintentional structural failures they had ever seen. I remember people accusing the city’s mayor and local authorities of being too slow to save everyone. Looking back, the authorities did everything possible to try and safety retrieve the victims but the odds were stacked against them.

After moving in, I discovered that the windows were a mess!! Two of them didn’t open and most had no screens but this jerk was worried about a crack in the glass!!

Additional comment as somebody who had a component in the S&R:-There were many foreign S&R units there, not just the Israeli's. Mexican, Chilean, and Japanese were the most prominent next to the Israeli's, but there were several other countries that participated, including Germany. Miami's own S&R team is also one of the best teams in the world. The reason there are always so many foreign teams in any event such as a building collapse or major earthquake is because those events are so rare that the best way to train them is to send them to every and any possible disaster in order to keep there skills up to fluff.

@ripSammy His team found his daughter. Not him, he was a member of the team but wasn't at the scene. You can be a part in of a team without being with them at every moment

ripSammy

@7531monkey Okay I'm genuinely confused. It says the firefighter was a member of the team that found his daughter. He "found his daughter". How did he find his daughter if he wasn't on scene? What am I missing?

ripSammy

@Brad Sanders No. This sentence is pretty confusing. The part in between the first and second commas is the appositive, meaning it identifies the noun, which is the firefighter. This means the firefighter is a member of the team that found his daughter but was not on the scene at the time. Since there's no other person mentioned, I'm assuming "his daughter" means the firefighter's daughter. So the firefighter was a member of the team, he found his daughter, but he was not on the scene at the time? If he was not at the scene, how did he find the daughter? If he already found his daughter, then why was he "notified immediately"?

Anyway what I'm saying is I don't really get it, so care to explain?

The thing that always gets me about that in the video is the one window in the south tower you can see with their light on. Most of the victims thankfully probably never knew what happened, then went to bed and never woke up, or only woke up long enough to groggily wonder what was happening. But there was someone in that south tower up and awake when the central section collapsed who would have had several second of their home swaying back and forth to realize what had happened and how much trouble they were in before they went as well. Terrifying.

@flower power we believe that we should be in a state of grace before we die. if we would like a guarantee, we will have confession and anointing of the sick. this includes venial sin like just not being generous with words dealing with other, etc. This requires true sincerity of heart asking for God's forgiveness.
So, what you are suggesting is that every minute of a person life, that person will sincerely repent his sin.

You're such a saint then if you are practicing this already. that's not the case for the majority of people. Because if that's the case you will see people crying around at most time.

The fact that you are not being generous with your word addressing me... kinda prove the point already.

@Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band Yeah, the whole thing is tragic. Once again in American history tragedy was a result of greed and negligence. It never ends. Those people paid good money to live there hoping the management did the bare minimum of making sure the building didn't collapse. It's rare for a building to collapse because of all the fail-safe features built into them. Especially a modern building. This isn't a 200 year old building. That's how negligent they were in maintaining this building.

The whole thing was terrible from the power grid failing and people freezing to death in their homes, to people suffocating in their garages trying to stay warm in their cars, to the pileup on i-35 that claimed at least 6 lives and injured dozens more!

My friend's dad, (his name was Manuel Lafont) died in that collapse. My friend and his sister were going to stay at his dad's house (this tower) for the night, but his mom said no. I'm very sure his mom saved both of them by telling them they couldn't stay the night. His father passed away sadly.

I was living in an apartment when my entire bedroom ceiling fell down in a couple huge plaster slabs. I was standing in front of a full length mirror that was against the wall. A strip just a couple feet wide was the only part that didn't come down, and that's where I was because I was looking in mirror. In the mirror I saw the ceiling come down behind me with a resounding crash as it broke over the footboard of my sleigh bed. It was so incredibly violent I'm still convinced if it happened at night me or my 2 little girls would have been severely injured or worse. I was immediately blinded as the dust filled the room and rolled down the hall, coating the entire apartment. This was one ceiling of one bedroom, and now, 15 years later, I still find myself inspecting my ceiling at night for any cracks. I truly can't even imagine what it would have been like in that building.

Fortunately, plasterboard is very light and fragile, so you will not get seriously injured if one were to fall on you. Maybe a bruise or nosebleed if it fell just right (or wrong), but possible not even that. A good scare and a dusty mess for sure though.

@William Haynes Eh, perhaps, but I live in a condo--just not a multiple-story building like this was. While we are responsible for repairs in our side of the building, the HOA covers the rest: the sidewalks, the driveways, the grounds. Considering this was in effect a high-rise apartment building and the problems were originated in the garage and pool areas, that would fall under the milieu of the HOA, wouldn't it?

I remember following this on the news, even though I live in the Great White North. I remember how hot my chest felt when watching, because I remember how only a few years ago, a similar disaster was narrowly avoided in my local city. There was an apartment tower, with 7 floors that had been built in 1969. I remember driving by the tower and noticing how all the balconies out front were crooked, and eventually the tower got evacuated in the middle of the night because it was deemed that it was at risk of imminent collapse. The building was stabilized, residents collected their belongings, and eventually it was torn down safely, but it was really scary how close that neighbourhood had come to disaster. The building was located in a very dense and busy area, and was very close to many other buildings, so one could only wonder how extensive the destruction would have been.

Winds of March Journey/Perry tribute band

I saw one place and the balcony fell off the building. Not sure if before or after inspection for sale. But I would have been all over it after that if I were buying.

Not uncommon in snow states, tho.

@chairmanofrussia it was in Calgary, Canada. The building in question is Kensington Manor. It’s long gone, the land it was on is just a vacant lot now, and searching for the tower online only brings up stories about that tower’s debacle.

The condo tried to issue a “special assessment” to raise funds for repairs but the owners voted it down. These condos all need a long term escrow account from the day they are built for maintenance decades in the future.. the HOA fees aren’t enough for major repairs I’m surprised this doesn’t happen more often.. I can understand how people don’t have $80,000 laying for a special assessment though.

@John L. The area might be rich, but if you were there 40 years, it wasn't the same cost as someone who just bought and has absolute right to sue everyone if they lived. You get 5 years to sue for major building problems, btw. Might be different in other states, tho.

The Building was at it's max load back in '81. All the re modeling that took place in the interim included a lot of Stone work and much heavier amenities. That's not so bad in one unit, but spread that throughout the whole place and you can see how it could get seriously overloaded. Add shoddy workmanship and lax maintenance and you get a falling building.

Thanks for the excellent update because so many of these issues are quickly forgotten.

It’s good to see some real action has been taken. Because it was a wealthy community AND it happened in a truly explosive manner the situation was taken seriously.

However, communities like Flint, Michigan have serious deterioration but on HUMAN BEINGS. And still nothing significant has been addressed … because it’s not a wealthy community.

And the entire city (not just one building) received NO BILLION DOLLAR compensation…in fact they received no compensation at all!

I don't remember what floor it was on or any other details like that. I remember you start seeing debris falling, then streaming, then pouring down and not long after the debris starts pouring the frame starts going sideways and it goes black. You're watching it from someone's living room... It's so eerie and kind of hard to watch bc you know even if someone's not in the condo being recorded other people and their pets are in the building, but you see all the debris and hear the building moan and shudder before everything goes.

@cwill212 The owners/residents are the one that paid for the inspection.. The inspection was handed to them because they paid for it. The engenner was not required to share that information with anyone but the person that employed him. (law has changed now i believe) The unit owners would have a hard time selling their unit and property values would fall for them if it was made public. The right thing to do is pay for inspection and fix things to keep value up.

For some reason it's the sight of the pet owners that made me cry. Animals are surprisingly resourceful and I can't imagine sitting and watching the building knowing you could do nothing about it. When a beloved pet is sent over the rainbow bridge on the advice of a vet, it's a conscious choice and you can reconcile it in your mind. It's the fact that animals love us unconditionally and couldn't understand why no one was helping them.
