Miami Beach condo collapse

Mordhaus

says...

Yeah, I initially was disturbed by the sinking, but one of the architects they spoke to about it said if it was uneven sinking it would be easily spotted by tenants due to the cracking of floors, walls, and ceilings. They are also saying it is a classic example of pillar failure, which the building rests on, but they can't be certain of what caused it. It could be poor quality concrete or spalling, if that is found it is definitely the builder's fault.

Yeah...it was a bad joke based on similar statements said in all seriousness by right wing representatives bragging about how easy they made development, and how much they were pro business. Now that deaths are reported, I retracted it. I thought the building was empty when I wrote it.
That said, if it is a 'failure to meet code' issue, then at least the 'code enforcement' part would be on point, even if in extremely bad taste.

12 cm is huge if only some parts sank and others didn't. That's why I always found downtown Houston scary, all those high rises built before 90 are sinking at different rates. They have tunnels connecting some that were flat when built and now are all ramps, some too steep to use! Yikes!

This is why we can't have nice things

Have had LEDs quit within that time frame also. Most vexing is having to replace one LED w/another while the fluorescents in the neighboring sockets are still burning. Quite honestly, in another house, the fluorescents (save a couple) have been running since they were put in >5+ yrs ago.

Also, remember the hub-bub of folks demanding incandescent over those new swirly ice-cream blubs (ire and desire trumps pragmatism). Hearing this, and 'those' people, knew the new bulb types were definitely going to be better.

Having high ceilings, lousy knees and a fear of heights - changing blubs every few years is a luxury.

I think this comment summarizes it;
"I went to the bathroom. Chloe was sitting in the corner of the ceiling"

I found myself preoccupied by his room and barely heard the song
- I love a nice framed map.
- Really like the choice of wall and ceiling colors
- Think a low key crown molding may be a nice addition

There's been something like this for years, except it rolls down from the ceiling.... it's called a projector.

Look for flashover videos too.
Nothing like seeing the fire on one side of the room and you think your safe, to get to the exit but the superheated gases travelling along the ceiling over your head dip down and ignite the opposite side of the room on fire.
