    Tourist submersible visiting the Titanic is missing Part 2

    According to Factual Report 24-011, ElectoImpact[sic?] did the winding and Janicki did the curing.

    An unintended consequence of using GPS is threatening Vermont's historic covered bridges...

    It's not a low bridge, it's a major car-only thoroughfare, on the Boston side of the river. Hitting the overpasses on Storrow Drive has its own verb, storrowing, and while more frequent in September due to the zillions of colleges in the area, it happens year round despite plenty of signs...

    I-195 Bridge Closure, R.I.

    We had one car rust out after 7 years, but in most cases they last much longer despite the aggressive salting. It would be an economic issue if they only lasted 5 years. I should note, however, that the weather is unusually mild in coastal RI, including West Providence, and the quantity of...

    Apartment Building Collapse

    Speaking of videos we shouldn't presume to make, Joshua Porter (Building Integrity) has an excellent one up about this collapse, with a sequel coming soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24Olee5DbOM

    Largest cylindrical aquarium in the world Aquadom in Berlin Radisson hotel collapses

    There was speculation on Reddit that the cold weather in Berlin and the legal requirement to keep indoor temperatures down (to 16°C) was too much for the (~25°C saltwater) tank. It was allegedly also remodeled in 2020, though in what way is unclear.

    In-flight breakup Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd. Bell Textron Inc. 212 (helicopter), C-GYHQ

    I'd like to have seen some analysis of how exactly a lack of training can get you the expected result out of the hardness test, rather than the actual value or some more random number.

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    @Cool_Controls linked a local TV news report in which, in one shot, they pointed out the same weekly report as @Walnuts did here on April 16th, the one with the squiggly 1.2 inch contour line. They seem to be basing their claim of the tower dropping 0.1 inch in a week on that. However, that...

    Evidence beyond the presence of new roof anchors on the roof? I dimly recall some discussion of the after-the-fact permitting on an earlier page of this thread, but I may have seen it elsewhere instead.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 06

    Regardless of where the water comes from, it shows the floor is not level. Possibly it was never level, but that would be an odd coincidence (of location).

    Would the pooling of water in parking spot 78 and the cracked garage floor be evidence of differential settlement?

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 06

    Ring cameras do have a snapshot mode, which can only be set up and viewed through the mobile app. The frequency of snapshots is user-configurable. It's not clear that these snapshots get appended to motion-activated video, as some have assumed to explain the initial video frame. BTW, it's...

    If you're complaining about Cassondra, she was a witness to the patio deck collapse so her location at the time she saw it is relevant.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 06

    Cassondra previously lived in 412, but moved within the building last year, probably to 410. She blogged extensively about the first place, but not so much about the move. The reddit thread I linked has more details.

    The archive link is to the New York Times floor chart. They don't list Cassondra at all, and they are correct about the occupants of 412. It seems that Cassondra moved last year, probably to unit 410 (marked unknown by the NYT). See this Reddit comment for details.

    The penthouse wasn't yet in the plans in which the garage had no flow switch, at least not on the page I posted.

    The ductwork seems to be in dropped ceilings away from the outside walls. See timestamp 1:50 in the tour of 611.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 04

    There are 24 flow sensors in the original plans (image, before the penthouse) with none in the basement. The alarm announcement did eventually sound, according to survivors.

    For the Spanish video, you can turn on autotranslate of the closed captions in the video settings (the gear icon). H/T reddit.
