"Water seeks its own level" my father used to say. Personally I thought gravity had more to do with it than the water.

This building is clearly pregnant, and the water just broke. If only affordable housing was that easy.

This was one of the first steps in that brutal collapse in Florida...

m a n...it's gonna take a hell of a lot of flex tape to fix that.

would question the clean edge and how the bottom fell out neatly (in one piece). shouldn't there be rebar or support beams?

Better yet, notice that the garage floor drops when the pool bottom hits. It’s going to be expensive to repair if it’s even possible.

I agree about rebar. If they used any, they didn’t use it correctly to tie separate concrete pours together. It is in Brazil…no surprise at all if they didn’t follow code.

My guess is that the rebar doesn't go all the way through.

That collapse was completely different reason
