I saw the video earlier this morning. Maybe I was tired, but I swear you could see flashing lights in key spots just prior to the section falling. I wasn't really paying attention, but assumed it was imploded.
Are they saying it just fell, like that?
I dunno...

Do those columns look small for a building that size to anyone else?

It was built in the early 80's, it lasted 40 years, why fail now?

40 year old building - Florida Building Codes were shit until Andrew in '93

The roof was being inspected/worked on - no clue how that would trigger a collapse.

Is that where DeSantis keeps the real Florida Death Count?

Trump's Abortion Records?

2 Live Crew's Master Tapes?

Hunter Biden's Laptop?

I’m sure the leftist drama queen mayor of Ft Lauderdale, after labeling an accident by a 77 year old gay man as a terrorist attack, will find a way to blame Trump and Desantis..

What you're most likely seeing is the arcing of live electrical wires when they were ripped from the walls when the building collapsed. Kind like when you see a limb hit live electrical lines.

Was wondering why a 40 year old building would collapse like that. If the roof was being worked on, they could have overloaded it or something. Crazy.

One report said the roof inspector noted corroded rebar, which if widespread, could be a factor.

And once part of it started to go it would just be dominos from there and all of it would go.

They say they're hearing banging so hopefully some of the people get out of that alive.

This isn’t low some income, shoddy construction high rise, or even middle income. Apparently these 1 to 3 BR condos, some with views of the beach, went for $600-$900k.

Apparently Jared and Ivanka recently bought a place 1 block west..
