Smfh I don’t trust 3rd world infrastructure
Only 2 other buildings collapsed and that happened in 2019.
A whole damn condo buikding just recently split in half and collapsed in Miami a year or 2 before that an overhead bridge which was recently constructed collapsed in the same city.
Oh wait an entire casino that was in the middle of construction collapsed in New Orleans.
A bridge in downtown Minneapolis collapsed in 2007. And if you look at other 1st world countries you see the same exact shyt.

I’m in construction and I said what I said.

America infrastructure is shyt due to age and greedy developers.

3rd world infrastructure is shyt due to poor materials, lack of oversight and knowledge and greed.

More Miami building are going to fall because they built in the swamps in the 80’s before the safer building codes. Now these landlords don’t want to retrofit. Not to mention all the sinkholes that are going to pop up.

They probably removed the lower concrete forms to early before the concrete cured .
Construction. Is fascinating to me.

Spent like a half hour looking at a crane making itself taller.


Crane operators make like $70/hour I heard
