It is too early in the building collapse in Miami to know
the cause
For a building that was constructed 40 years ago hard to believe construction
flaws
It was being examined by Miami Building Department to be recertified it was
structurally sound
Not completed so not recertified when half of it pancaked into the ground
Some construction repair on the roof in progress
But seems initially unlikely a factor in this potentially deadly distress
Too early to know but in 2020 a study found the building was in a slowly
sinking state
Not known to be the cause but could add another warning to climate change
debate?
The same engineers who examined the collapse of the FIU Sweetwater Pedestrian Bridge
in 2018
Are now heading to the Surfside collapse scene
For now with 99 people reported missing the search for survivors or bodies is
on
Later when search and recovery is over time to the conclusions on the cause hopefully
to be drawn
The Miami beaches are flanked by streets and condominiums in almost unbroken
walls
Pedal to metal on cause as residents will be worrying are we next in line to
pancake or fall?
