"Authorities are responding to Champlain Towers following a collapse of the 12-floor residential complex. There are reports of people screaming under the rubble.
More to follow!"

This is awful. I wonder if the Naval test offshore a few days ago unsettled the ground.

Possibility certainly shouldn’t be ignored.
.... unless the left is in charge of the military.
Omg. Yesterday a pedestrian walkway collapsed in DC. Now this unbelievable horror. How does a bldg collapse?
Patrick AlexanderGuys, the car garage collapsed. The size of the car garage is the size of the collapsed portion of the building. Problem solved.
I remember that story. The silly claims about the “woman engineer” were a myth. The engineers who signed off on the designs and faced professional disciplinary action were all men.
Prayers for the victims.
Dawn is breaking here in the Southeast. Miami weather had a 19% chance of rain going up to 55% later today.

HAPPENING NOW: Firefighters are rescuing people from balconies of Champlain Towers. Building near 88th and Collins partially collapsed overnight.
Infrastructure? White supremacy? Stacy Abrams visitation?
There’s now a reported crack in the bldg on the left side. Bravo side.
If it's not a sinkhole it's democrat building code/inspection fraud. Miami IS s democrat city after all so it has some of the same criminal hellhole qualities all democrat cities have...
Salt air near the ocean eats concrete. Or possible that the ground it was built on was water saturated and unstable like quicksand?
You have to go halfway down the MSN page to find it mentioned. They’re all calling it a partial collapse (like that makes it not as bad).
“Meth lab mishap most likely”
Where is Hunter???
“Salt is one helluva mineral”
Collapse was on side facing ocean. Salt corrodes everything!
Thank you for updating me on that, I hadn’t heard that it was a myth...
Twitter feed commentator said locals reported there were concerns about structural integrity of building, and renovation work had recently begun.
“Back then, a condo collapse could NOT happen without an explosion...”
The damage is like a skinny, empty, pyramid, with the greatest opening at its base. Successive floors collapsed going up. Explosion at the base can’t be ruled out, although witnesses said they heard no blast.
The pedestrian overpass in DC didn’t “collapse.” It was hit by a truck.
