My observation is that section of the building just did not only collapsed, it crumbled. When demolition crews do a controlled demolition, don't they put explosives at different levels of the building to weaken it so as to pancake in order for it not to topple over? In this case it looks like there were possible weak points at different levels of that building. I could be wrong in my assumption. My condolences to the affected families and friends.

Should be pretty detailed maintenance logs engineers can refer to as well to ensure repairs were dealt with correctly. That could be another factor, perhaps there were structural issues that needed attention that were either put off or done incorrectly. Think Sampoong Mall in South Korea was similar.

[@kscott2655]

In my experience, which may be biased, community associations such as the ones that run condos do not always keep great records. Often, they hire a management company. Each manager may be responsible for several communities. Required training for managers is minimal and turnover in the profession is high. If an association changes management companies, the transfer of records is often very poor. I would not automatically assume that detailed records were kept. The association seems to have units of decent value, which helps, but the fact that they had to get a loan for the roof repairs says to me that they may not have made the best decisions in running the condo association. That's super jaded of me to say, and I'm not blaming that for the collapse, but I do think records may not be as available as you'd think.

The roof steel was not (centered in the slab and was ripped out of tower still standing) = changing angular momentum axis of slab. Witnesses, worker across the street heard and saw water . Witness Cohen and his wife stated garage was filled with water to just under his knees when he tried to escape after the collapse. The pool did not lose any water. We had torrential rains before the collapse. We all know roofers do not clean up at the end of the day . ***Paper and plastic debris everywhere*** Roof had parapet walls and roof drains . If the roof drains clogged from debris and the roof flooded , this weight along with material weight would have overloaded columns and caused the collapse . When they stock roofing materials it is by crane and if they do not disperse the weight they can make a column or slab break easy .

For over 30 years they knew the building was sinking. Probably because it was measured in millimeters (2 per year) and they got confused about the translation to standard measurements, figured "Ah, that's no big deal. Call us back in about ten years or so."

[@ryanwright9460]

What is the context of it sinking? If it is just sinking perfectly vertically nothing will happen other then eventually being underground, loads would be the same. If one corner was falling by 2mm/yr you are still talking only 6cm total which would be about 4 inches (unlikely only 1 corner would fall) and you are talking a decent horizontal distance for that 4" fall too that it would be of a minimal magnitude.

[@rondohunter8966]

@@ryanwright9460 The CC tape showed that a portion of the building fell first followed shortly by another section. If a building such as this has a corner begin to sink cracks will and did form. They were basically ignored. The weight load of the building would shift the gravity center towards the dip. This would cause an undue amount of force on one part of the building while the other part was just fine sitting where it was. So the sinking part simply separated from the rest and fell.

[@ryanwright9460]

@@rondohunter8966 i think it had minimal to do with it, you are talking 2.4" over a 100-200ft span to hit the extreme scenario of your lack of context. The report of it sinking 2mm/yr is likely in reference to the whole building, however not in the ideal uniform sinking that the distribution of stresses would be the same which would make the shift in loading less than a change of 2.4in/150ft and that is including the surveyors measurement errors from before and after each check.

The collapse started at the pool area, next the center front colums(3) pull down the mid section and last the siut section(15 sec later). The water proofing at the pool deck was in dire condition, water was leaking into the garage area and destroyed the repairs in columns. When rusting happens the metal expands and the concrete falling off in chunks. This further weakens the columns until it collapses. BTW this is how building demolition happens with explosives too, by putting under load bearing columns. The whole process start slowly and speed up exponentially in a relatively short time. The water also can was the dirt out under the garage floor which further weakens the structure. They should start the repairs in the pool and garage area not the roof. Utterly negligent behavior.

The water proofing at the pool deck was in dire condition, water was leaking into the garage area and destroyed the rebars in the columns. When rusting happens the metal expands and the concrete falling off in chunks. This further weakens the columns until it collapses. BTW this is how building demolition happens with explosives too, by putting under load bearing columns. The whole detetioration process start slowly and speed up exponentially in a relatively short time. The water also can was the dirt out under the garage floor which further weakens the structure. They should start the repairs in the pool and garage area not the roof. Utterly negligent behavior.

[@MegaLivingIt]

Yes, noticed that. Don't know what it means. Maybe new appliances are bigger, more weight than building designed for in 1980? Or flimsy construction.

A few days before the collapse the Navy exploded a new type of weapon that registered on the Richter scale in Florida. Could this have been a result of such an explosion it was 100 miles off coast.

[@mathildaapril1175]

A couple years ago, a tenant there sued HOA of that building. He told them that he felt the building shaking. Some tenants also complained about mold, crack of the building too. Your conspiracy theory is crazy. If the Navy did something like you said, then other old building would collapse too. But, only this building is collapsed. Your theory made no sense whatsoever.

[@enriquemireles8947]

@@mathildaapril1175 maybe the sand where this building is located could have liquify or create a sinkhole nothing to do with structure of building. No conspiracy just a fact the test happened and all situations should be looked into.

[@michaelbill123]

In examining the surveillance video of the collapse, you can see flashes of light on several floors, seconds before floors pancake onto one another. It sure looks suspiciously like a planned building demolition to me.

[@LardGreystoke]

Unless for some reason the building had electrical connections or gas lines.

I agree. If you look at the cloud of smoke-it is black at core. Building in China that collapse-shake first. No shaking here. My government picked this building because of the cracks. My government is sick.

[@tonycampaign5337]

Yes investigate the heck out of that building video evidence....etc! That looked like a controled demolition!

[@daytonduck]

I would suggest you watch several controlled demolitions, then watch this one. There are numerous telltale differences. Chiefly among them, there is no "pattern" of blasts that run the length or height of the towers. There are a few flashes near the roof where the electrical connections to the A/C systems reside, and a few other random flashes that could easily be attributable to the glass reflecting nearby lights. The only way it resembles a controlled demolition is that the building falls down. I challenge you to show that it could have fallen differently while starting as a static object in Earth's gravitational field.

[@tonycampaign5337]

Atorod Azizinamini is not saying anything that has been said already , and what he said at the beginning of the interview is a question that everyone has asked how did this happen , well it happened because the Ownership of Champlain Condominium did not care to invest in keeping the Champlain Condominium in working order and there is a saying what you don't see can't hurt you , that's what the Ownership of Champlain Condominium not only said it was what they believed to be true . The infrastructure is more important than the appearance and it is not seen as readily as the outside of the Condominium , Mr. Azizinamini is not saying anything that puts the burden on the Ownership and the Slum Lording of profits that were being paid to them , what he should have said is that a cold and calculated decision was made long ago with the Knowledge that it would be forty years before a full inspection of the Condominium would happen and in that time the only improvements were cosmetic .
