Like always there will be a critical mass of errors and natural events. RIP you 99.

But land subsidence in and of itself likely would not cause a building's collapse, according to Wdowinski, an expert in space geodesy, natural hazards and sea level rise.

Call Greta, this is clearly global warming!

If this building was literally sinking since the early 90s it took this long for it to collapse that makes no sense. Our house foundation also sinks from time to time, been like that since day 1, its the soil..tried putting beams, etc doesnt seem to ever do the trick so every few years or so we start to see cracks here and there on the walls and at night and when it rains its harder to open for instance the bathroom door, but the house wont collapse..

USA Today has an article on this, but direct links are banned and the article is behind a paywall.

Can check it out via WayBack machine:

Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say

The land isn’t sinking...the sea level is rising. Global Climate Catastrophe! Stop eating meat!

I think subsidence is the reason for a lot (if not most) of the “rising sea level” stories.

Did they build it on sand?

A Florida sinkhole? Who knows. Very sad - hopefully many will be recovered. I think I would be a little nervous if I lived in a condo near that one until we know what happened.

So, in plainer English, using drilled and poured sticks of concrete to stand on bedrock is not as good as building on bedrock itself. Good to know.

While watching the live feed on Agenda Free TV this A.M. I saw several comments about how people denying global warming sea-level rise are now getting some kind of lesson. This despite the fact some apparent sea-level ‘rise’ is actually due to land subsidence.

Made me think of the pictures from the G-7 summit in Cornwall. A pic from 95 years ago taken at the same angle and likely from pretty much the same spot shows the ocean level the same.

Coup Flu
Colonial Pipeline cyber attack
Meat producer cyber attack.

Could this be more asymetric “soft target” warfare?

Much weight, built on sand, at edge of an Ocean. How far down were the piling/ piers?

I’d hate to be on the board of that home owners association.
