Florida Condo Collapse

Brookwood

Pretty tragic occurrence with many lives lost. I was a bit surprised (not really) about the number of foreign people living there. Proves to me that if you have enough $$ you can live just about anywhere you want.


Anyway, this morning over coffee with one of my brothers, he mentioned that just a short time before the building went down, the Navy set off a major explosion off the Florida coast. Not sure of any of the facts but it seems plausible that there could be a connection.


Sorry for all of the families losses and hope all find peace and comfort in the Lord.

    A lot of what FCD and others say rings true. I don't claim to be a expert in building construction but have had some experience in this area. I served on the planning board locally for almost ten years and was the building manager for Herbert Hall the Alumni Building at West Point. Along with a retired BG who use to be the professor of EE at West Point, I was in charge of the Punch List when we moved into new building in 1995. This building I could run with one PC, pumps, motors, valves, hvac, the whole nine yards.

    There are things i can't discuss on a public forum about my past duties but I have seen enough evidence on this building collapse to frankly make me nauseous. When the smoke finally clears on this tragedy, there is going to be plenty of blame to pass around.

    These residents went to sleep never to see the sun shine again. God have mercy on their souls. What a shameful, horrific, tragedy.----------------------------------Ray

    It seems that reading about another sinkhole opening up somewhere in Florida is common. Would make me nervous.

    Tomorrow morning they will set dynamite charges and drop the remainder of the South building. Partly because a tropical storm/hurricane is headed that way. Partly because, it is dangerous doing recovery with the risk that the remainder of the building will collapse.


    They say they can pancake it and not have the debris land on the current debris pile.
