"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!"

The only question is what Marxist Ghoul AKA Democrat will be the first to the microphone to spout it’s the Republicans fault this building collapsed because they don’t want to send trillions of dollars down the crapper for “infrastructure”
Looks like the facade of half the front/back of the building has peeled away...
It’s Miami.
I’m betting on incompetence AND corruption.
Bedrock in South Florida? That’s funny!
Lot of pilings driven into the sand/muck.
Thank you.
That area is solid Democrat and Communists. Trump hatred is rampant.
Do you have links to this feed? Thx
same thought
So is the math is racist/sexist mentality.
Figg Bridge Engineers was the firm responsible for the design of the bridge. Their lead engineer for the project was a man named W. Denney Pate.
They are hearing screaming. Good news for rescuers to help locate survivors.
Did no one actually read the DailyMail story?
Ivanka lives just a block away.

Doesn’t seem to be live right now.
There have been a few sinkholes in southeastern Florida, but mostly it's the central part of the state.
In any case, the ground doesn't seem particularly stable. Sand on top of bedrock, and much of the bedrock is limestone.
Wikipedia:"In the 1920s, Fisher and others created much of Miami Beach as landfill by dredging Biscayne Bay; this man-made territory includes Star, Palm, and Hibiscus Islands, the Sunset Islands, much of Normandy Isle, and all of the Venetian Islands except Belle Isle."
That was in Miami, also.....
All beach front condos were built the same way then, and probably now.
Either the foundation is on bedrock, or they drove piling down to bedrock.
The only sinkholes I know about are fresh water sinkholes.
Sinkholes on the beach? First time I have heard about that in SE Florida.
Until proven otherwise, I will stick with my first instinct...
A large number of Jewish residents in the building...
Hamas (or fill in the blank) blew out several support columns in the underground parking lot.
The underground parking lot goes down at least two levels, and possibly three, so there would be no explosive sound outside. Just a sharp jolt, then, the building collapses.
Very common on the beach for rebar in the building cement to rust, swell and then crack cement. Mitigating work to solve these problems in continuous.
This is the most likely cause IMO
Just on the news it’s a heavily orthodox Jewish area.
