I heard it was very unlikely it was a sinkhole and what she saw was the pool and pool deck collapse into the parking lot below. The pool was over a parking garage.

Establishing whether or not someone died in this collapse could be rather inneresting considering most of the dead were probably turned to paste.

There was a story from the OKC bombing in which authorities found a leg but could not identify which body/victim it came from.

She went to bed, but around 1:00 a.m. she was woken by what she called a "rare force."
Believing the feeling came from an open balcony door, she went to her living room to try to close it. But then behind her she saw a crack coming from the ceiling, quickly snaking down the wall and opening fast.
"Something inside of me said run," Monteagudo said. "You have to run to save your life."
In moments, she put on the first clothes she could find, grabbed her phone and her purse, blew out the candle and ran out of her apartment, she said.
Once in the hallway, she found quiet: no panic, no alarms and no one else running.
She knew not to take the elevator but didn't know that the emergency stairs were just beside her unit, so she went to the farthest set of stairs instead.
"If I knew that, maybe I would have taken that one," Monteagudo said.
But as she was flying down the six floors of stairs, pleading with God to let her see her sons and grandsons again, she heard the sound of the tower she lived in collapsing. If she had been in the stairs closest to her home, she likely would have been crushed, her son said.

Are you stoned or pissed off, or both, when you create these postings?

Interesting they have suspended the search over "safety concerns." I think that's code for we need to stop this search but don't want to upset the relatives.

I think they might be worried about the surrounding buildings being compromised while people are searching through the rubble.

as they planned a controlled implosion.

I thought we saw that...

I imagine this will come down to old fucks in an HOA voting to let repairs go just another year because they didn't want to be charged a special assessment

At a minimum, they(each unit owner) were looking at $500 a month for the next 15 years to cover these repairs... Mind you these were not lavish residences, they started around the 200K range. I would honestly walk away from the mortgage than pay that. Who the fuck would buy a condo if you know you could get hit with that? With a house, Homeowners insurance should take care of most catastrophic repairs.

This is a better article than the NPR one:

The board’s condo D&O policy was a $2m limit, and the insurance carrier James River, already tendered the full limit.

For my Homeowners insurance, I pay extra( something like $200 a year) for a clause that I'm covered if there are any foundational issues, did not the Condo as a whole have similar coverage for this repair?

The industry trade journals are saying they have $48m of property coverage. I was referring to the board’s liability policy. They will also have a decent sized general liability and umbrella policy. I suspect every policy is going to a limit loss.

The body of a Miami firefighter’s daughter has been found in the ruins of the partially collapsed condo tower in Surfside.

The firefighter and his brother, another firefighter, have kept a vigil since the night of the collapse, staying on the site every day until they found the girl. The city and other rescue workers have not identified the firefighter or the victim. Sources described an emotional recovery scene when the body was recovered. About 200 officers saluted as the girl was carried out.

“Our hearts and prayers are with the families affected by this horrific tragedy. We can confirm that a member of our city of Miami Fire Department family has lost his 7-year-old daughter in the collapse. She was recovered last night by members of our Urban Search and Rescue Team, Florida Task Force 2.

We ask that you respect the privacy of the immediate family as well as our Fire Department family while we grieve our loss and support our own.”

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Cheap oceanside condo is a cheap oceanside condo? Shocking.

The menstrual cycle changes among Hassidic Jewish women was something as well.

MANY are failing to consider the lack of due diligence done by the people living in these condos regarding the safety of said condos

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

Its why I hired a structural engineer to inspect my house before I bought it.

I suppose you want the government to inspect everyone's house for safety now? How much is THAT going to cost?

Because you are stupid, maybe read some books educate yourself.

We walk, talk, and won't shit our pants
