Florida Condo Collapse.

[outside shooter]

sorry, but you're just flat wrong on where the collapse initiated.

No, you are wrong. Read that Washington Post article I linked. We know what collapsed first, the pool deck in the area holding the planters. You can synch up the site map with the collapse video with the pictures of the water streaming in just minutes before.

We know the concrete in the deck didn't meet code for reinforcement and was overloaded with the landscape plantings. It may also have been improperly cured and have too few supports.

Don't continue to be a willfully ignorant dumbass.

As a FYI, that link is pay-walled.

Sea levels have nothing to do with this collapse, and nobody says it did, so this is a stupid side conversation.

But...

You can pick and choose whatever it is that you think is causing rising sea levels, but you cannot really argue that seas levels are not actually rising. Daily tide levels have been precisely measured in many places for DECADES.

Here's one data set:

We explore the causes and consequences of sea level rise in Florida, and how the local and federal governments are dealing with it.

Or you could just go to any beach in the US and see that water levels are not rising.

But why believe your own eyes when you can listen to 'experts' with an agenda?

The concrete didn't meet code, BUT Then they added 12 tomato plants that caused the opposite side of the complex to collapse pulling the pool area down with it, away from from the pool area. ... Yea... User name checks out. IT's legit.

the part of the condos that initially collapsed isn't in question, and it is the section that butted up against the sheared off wall in this pic.

again, that is not in question.

that section is on the opposite side of the property from the pool.

the parts closest to the pool were the last to go down, and were pulled down by the rest of the building, and didn't collapse on their own.

if the math dept of MIT posted here that 2+2=4, a herd of idiots would show up to refute that till they were blue in the face.

why the "f" is that?

again, the part of the building that initially collapsed literally connected to the sheared off wall in the pic above.

that section is on the other side of the property from the pool.

the pool hasn't been moved since the collapse.

the sections closest to the pool were the last to go down, and were pulled down by the rest of the building rather than collapsed on their own.

that also is not in question.

wth is the matter with people. this isn't some partisan political thing.
