Buildings in the impoverished red states have been falling down for decades
because rightists run third world states where construction companies skimp
on materials and build shit because rightists are greedy, inferior and lazy.
Rightists certainly are like illegal aliens except for the better work ethic
possessed by the illegals.
On June 24, 2021, at approximately 1:22 a.m. EDT,[a] Champlain Towers South,
a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida,
United States, partially collapsed, causing the deaths of 98 people. Four
people were rescued from the rubble, but one died of injuries shortly after
arriving at the hospital.[9] Eleven others were injured.[10] Approximately
thirty-five were rescued the same day from the un-collapsed portion of the
building,[11] which was demolished ten days later.
A contributing factor under investigation is long-term degradation of
reinforced concrete structural support in the basement-level parking garage
under the pool deck, due to water penetration and corrosion of the
reinforcing steel. The problems had been reported in 2018 and noted as "much
worse" in April 2021. A $15 million program of remedial works had been
approved before the collapse, but the main structural work had not started.
Other possible factors include land subsidence, insufficient reinforcing
steel, and corruption during construction.[12][13][14] The National Institute
of Standards and Technology (NIST) is investigating almost two dozen
potential causes for the collapse. It is likely they will determine several
factors happened simultaneously to cause the collapse.[15]
The Surfside collapse is tied with the Knickerbocker Theatre collapse as the
third-deadliest non-deliberate structural engineering failure in United
States history, behind the Hyatt Regency walkway collapse and the collapse of
the Pemberton Mill.[16]
