It’s not a US source, so the story is much more likely to be true.

More ominous warnings that the building was coming down...so sad.

That appears to have been either a water main or a sprinkler main that broke prior to the collapse. If you consider this video in light of the statement of the lady who was able to get out after waking up to noise and finding her sliding door jammed shut it appears the building was settling prior to the collapse so new stresses were being placed on the concrete that was not elastic.

There has been enormous speculation about this event with some pretty crazy theories and a lot of talk about the superficial condition of the concrete at the base of the structure. However, what has not been talked about nearly as much that may be relevant is that this area is known for large shallow sinkholes.

What happened? Outside of the obvious catastrophic failure of the building’s structural core we do not know. The investigators will figure it out. NIST is a pretty sharp nerd herd with a history of solid failure analysis investigation.

Most likely a watermain break.

Here’s hoping that the 145 being reported as still missing are simply snowbirds who have returned to their homes in the north for the summer.........

Tunnels have been discovered under the building that collapsed.

"Sarmiento said she had tried to notify residents about the danger but they thought she was exaggerating because 'things like that don't happen in America.'"

Welcome to Biden's America.
