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...
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...
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:

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.
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.
@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.
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).
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...
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.
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.
