Miami Building Collapse

[glhs837]

And lets not forget the closed Walmart and Kmarts stores, well the ones "The Government" hasn't taken over for interning patroits...

Yep. Ever hear about the train car rework depot that was alleged to be turned into a camp, complete with huge ovens and extra fencing? Beech Grove?

I drive by it all the time, its an hour south of me. I pass it on the way back and fourth to the farm.

So it sank 6 feet in 40 years? Yeah that might draw some inspectors attention.

It sank 2mm per year from 1993 to 1999, so 12mm.

Thought you were in that area. My oldest lives down south of Indianapolis about 45 minutes.

"Surfside is in Miami-Dade County.

Miami-Dade County is one of the MAJOR human trafficking hubs in the country."

Just sharing.

Port of Miami is the largest passenger port in the world and one of the largest cargo ports on the east coast. Once they have the trafficked humans in Miami they don't take them to one of the most exclusive zip codes in the country, they take them to the hood where it would go unnoticed.

I got the side eye from the locals when I was walking through wearing Jams and a Panama Jack T-Shirt in the late 80s.

Columbus? Or near Bloomington? Spencer?
I work and live very near Alexandria just above Anderson and west 20 miles of Muncie.
My weekend place is a bit south of them, past Bedford and a bit west of Mitchell.
I love So Indiana.

So looks like a 3br condo in that building would have been atleast 1 million.

Just heard that beyond the "settling" of the building is that first the pool dropped into the underground garage and that pulled the building down with it.

So there is report that an inspection three years ago showed repairs was needed by the pool. Was it enough to collapse? I'll wait till it's all cleared. Not falling for that bat in a wet market line.

So here is one of those evil people stashing tunnels.

Photos from the scene appears to show that the pool is still intact. The collapse appears, from that security camera video, to have started in the area of the connection of the ell to the main building. The pool decking needed work, but is it the cause?

Have read very little about this collapse, but it makes me wonder if a sink hole is involved.

Those pictures were taken two days before the collapse.

But it appears that those areas in the pictures are still standing. I'm just waiting till everything is cleared out and the point of origin is found before I pin blame.

Where do you see that?

Can see the pool still intact in lower left. Pool control room was underneath. Not saying that the pool decking drainage did not contribute but I'll wait.

Those pictures really put it in perspective. I didn't realize the extent of the collapsed area, how much building actually came down.
