    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 19

    I thought the extra beam that was taken out when a step down was reduced was a major issue as well?

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 19

    ^ yeah I remember that just was curious because I don’t think the results were ever reported, like what was done permanently and blueprints if it has the same design flaws like mentioned above.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 19

    I do find it strange how there hasn't been any follow up or media information on CTN after they were reportedly shoring up some spots. Nothing about the design, how similar, etc. Probably on purpose to protect property values, just like renaming mentioned above lol. But as someone very...

    People should learn not to play on the tracks any more than they know not to play on the roads. Do you even care that anything you say has a factual basis? https://www.volpe.dot.gov/rail-suicide-prevention

    They were shoring up that building for awhile but haven’t heard anything since or what, if any, findings.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 19

    ^^ definitely interesting. I’d imagine it’s likely that the drives are in a RAID configuration, unfortunately, which makes recovery without all of the drives and knowledge of the controller very difficult.

    Section of I-95 collapses after fire burns under overpass...

    Aww it hurts you so much to actually see a competent government doing what a government should do. :) This was handled by lots of experts outside of the lane PENDOTT or whatever. And certainly more capable than the opinions of me or a so called mechanical engineer.

    Hmm, I like everything I produce or use to be well designed. Maybe that's just me.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 18

    That is interesting, but if they are were all in the building retrieving animals and searching for people, under the structure in the garage, someone can't go in there quickly and take a look? Or set up some temporary support? Maybe, but did the condo rep communicate to anyone about it...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 18

    So ridiculous no security cam footage and no explanation still for no fire logs? Supposedly all of that was in that part was was still standing until they decided when/how to demolish it... I think the condo rep who was TOLD via e-mail to grab the fire control panel should be under criminal...

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 18

    Unless it’s been debunked I remember reading early after the event that visitors heard loud creaking sounds the previous night or two before the collapse.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 18

    It was summarized here by others I believe. The slides were posted in pretty sure. Edit: never mind looks like I missed it and next meeting is June 14. Here is the link to previous slides and notes...

    Right that’s what I checked. I paid attention to that meeting and expected then to announce another meeting but haven’t seen anything.

    Shouldn’t there be a NIST update meeting soon? What’s going on?

    Another Miami Beach condominium with structural problems

    Any news on CTN? Seems all the new info dried up but could be interesting info from it especially with the shoring put up.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 18

    They mentioned in the meeting getting access directly to the adjacent building's system to compare compression settings, etc. so I would assume so.

    More misinformation and FUD. Power only increases due to demand AND the limited resources. The sun is literally free after investment. You are reducing the cost of the more limited resource like coal etc. And taking farms away? LOL. apparently you didn’t know most of our food is from factory...

    Hurricanes, Sea water, Corrosion and EV's

    Read. There is enough lithium for expected rises in demand compared to oil and the drilling impacts for extraction. I never said cobalt was sufficient . Again. Read. However more recycling is being done and new technologies are working on like-for-like replacements. Where’s that research for...
