I wonder what caused it. Was it the construction mixed with weather conditions & a bad foundation?


I always think about stuff like this living in these NYC pre-war buildings built in the 30s/40s.

One of the guys who got out from the first floor said there was an initial “crash” where the under building parking collapsed. Then the rest went a minute later

That shyt is wild. You go to sleep and wake up to potentially being trapped in rubble if you are still alive. Terrifying circumstances.

someone most liikely went to sleep, jarred awake by that fact that they were falling and then the ceiling collapses onto them. :merchant:

it probably happened so fast they didn't have time to process it.:hamster:

What do you think could’ve caused this? Could it be the structure deteriorating? I know a lot of those buildings north of south beach could be up to 100 years old.

This one is 40 years old.

Could be
Construction/inspection issues
Nature related, saltwater, Miami is slowly sinking
Water main break - sinkhole

Terrorism, bomb, some type of attack, always possible but don’t think so in this case

I’d lean foundation, sinkhole
