Condo for sale?

[Hypertrophy]

Parts of Florida are at sea level and sea levels have been on the rise. The average elevation of Miami is 6 feet above sea level. Miami's sea level is rising on an average of 1 inch every 3 years.

The buildings sit on reclaimed wetlands. I'd suggest that was a bigger factor than rising sea levels....

I studied electrical engineering...but it was explained to me that Houston highrises are engineered to displace less than the soil under the building...so the thing effectively "Floats"...

That's true more or less. They need "some" movement.

They are also anchored like 40-feet into the ground for stability.

A lot of it depends on seismic conditions.

The foundations under these things are incredible, they aren't moving anywhere.

Like in a big stadium or driving over a massive bridge, people get nervous when they feel a little movement, but it needs to move a little. It's when there is zero movement that you should be concerned.

Collapsed Miami condo had been sinking into Earth as early as the 1990s, researchers say

There was a minor earthquake last year in Greenville, SC where I live. Shaked the whole house and miraculously this 3 story place never came crashing down, lol


I imagine the final report on why these condos collapsed will be very interesting.

I was thinking of buying a Condo in the Pearl Necklace District. Guess I'll think again before making a big mistake.

Very good....as if either of you are being serious.

Looked like one of those building demolitions.

Something strange going on.  No way a building would just drop like that.

[sync pulse]

Well, if there was  an underlying problem with the building because of an underlying defect that was dormant for 40 years...A violation of original engineering specifications?...Building inspectors paid off during initial construction?...Underlying design flaw?...


Look up Citicorp building...There was an underlying design fault...They caught it in time.

With a concrete/steel frame and stacked decked floors, that's normal.

If it was built like the WTC i would argue, specially WTC 7, which caught fire and collapsed. It was the first building of that material to collapse due to paper fire and zero structural damage, in history.

Could be any or all of those.

40 years ago things where built differently. Less code enforcement, etc.

I wouldn't be surprised if they cut a few corners.

It's going to be difficult to tell, but since people died it's going to be looked at very closely.

They'll be tying this to DeSantis somehow in 3-2-1.

Him or Trump they blame for everything bad.

Checking for the correct shaft to head ratio?

Can one be almost too hard....?

Had to stifle a guilty chuckle there

What are you saying happened to WTC 7?

Where are all of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists claiming the Miami tower had to be rigged with secret explosives because buildings “don’t just fall” despite being struck by a 200,000lb object traveling at 600mph.

[POB]

I know there’s not a tally yet, but I’m surprised only a handful of people died in this thing. Sad stuff.

You would think pretty much all the residents at that time would be there sleeping especially during the week

This building was detonated.

[Primemuscle]

This building was detonated.

If you are right...and you could be....they will surely find evidence of it once all the bodies are accounted for and they can redirect their time to investigating the reasons behind the building's collapse.

[Royalty]

This building was detonated.

In the video, there appeared to be flashes of light inside, just before the building crumbled

Champlain Towers North, an identical condo to the Champlain Towers South building that came down early Thursday morning, is being watched closely by local officials.
