That video doesn’t look like 1:30am, when the collapse occurred. Enhanced somehow?

I hope DeSantis has sense enough to keep the FBI out of there.

Was wondering if their was any sort of boom/explosion sound, ahead of this collapse.

Could definitely be a gas explosion.

Prayers up, for all involved/trapped/rescuing, etc.

Did Hillary know anyone that lived there?

Probably more likely someone that knows McAfee.

At least good enough to have a copy of his kill-switch files.

This is some China-flavored s**t right here.


As someone posted, earlier (on another thread).....the CCP are the new Hessians.

Looking at the still pictures its appears to me that an entire building pancaked and what everyone is focusing on is a second building that’s face was torn off. The rubble pile is too large and is far away from the face of the building for that rubble to have come from that single partially destroyed building. I can see roofing on the rubble pile that would far exceed what we are being directed to look at. Something is not right in what we are being told.

It’s not just the face of the second building that collapsed. If you look at before and after photos, you’ll see that over half of the original complex collapsed.

And now the conspiracy theory crowd is here. Not only are they vaccine experts they are structural engineering experts as well I am praying for those hurt grieving and still trapped not trying to blame this in some deep state conspiracy. Sometimes accidents and tragedies just happen.

During an earlier press conference, one of the reporters asked the mayor if he had heard that McAfee’s father lived there. The mayor said he didn't know.

Okay. That is more in line with what I am seeing. There could be a huge number of people under that flattened rubble. No one is coming out of there alive.

I made a special exception and watched a few minutes of CNN (they cover disasters like this very well) and a woman who lives next door thought there was work being done on the collapsed building. The county commissioner also implied work was being done. Some of this work is routine and ongoing and was required after Hurricane Andrew. The building code standards are very strict apparently.

When doing a controlled implosion, the supporting piers are blown and the building pancakes.In this case investigation of the condition of the support pillars will likely reveal the cause.

Thank you

There were essentially witnesses who describe a collapse and lots of dust...I’m guessing foundation disintegration....

I used to drive right by there headed to my favorite Miami deli

Wolfie Cohens Rascal House

That area used to have some of Dades only residential single homes directly on the beach...a handful

Sunny isles and Surfside

I fear death count will be bad unless folks were gone hopefully

You’re both right

Yes building pilings are sometimes driven into mud sand or clay....quite deep I might add....bed rock being pretty deep

But Miami area does have coral bed rock in abundance

You see it at the surface particularly in coconut grove by the Mutiny hotel and dinner key

Bedrock where I grew up in Jackson Mississippi was 125 foot down on average

And check out surface spoils around al the phosphate quarries

It’s not muck by any means

It’s the caliche around south Texas hills....crumbly white rock ....from coral or shell

We used to dig trenches down there on pipeline work....coral wall trenches...you could dig it but it was tough...and you’d go to eat lunch and I’d WellPoint system wasn’t on to keep it dry we’d have a ten foot deep clear trench of ground water

If it was hot......and I’m doing grunt work

I’d jump in....lol
