    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 10

    Please correct your spreadsheet, the inspector states they were "replacing" anchors. They were "installing" anchors where none existed before. Key INFO!

    Roof anchor testing to larger loads than specified actually cause more damage FYI.

    Do you work on neon signs in Vegas, please clarify your thought, I have the leading theory and didn't even read what you copied.

    Miami Beach, Champlain Towers South apartment building collapse, Part 10

    Per 111 earlier statement, the guard climbed out the valet window then went BACK IN to help those who tried to get out. The single remaining stairwell dumped out into the pool deck (collapsed) and parking (flooded.) FYI, in most jurisdictions except City of LA (in my experience) this is still...

    I noted this multiple times in my DIRECT communication with the 'town' (a subset of Miami-Dade "corruption" county.) An odd (but accurate) explanation is many jurisdictions require electric meter rooms and their circuits every 2nd or 3rd floor. The purpose is to limit their staff time reading...

    There are multiple reports of the initial collapse beginning at the roof: 111 said noises came from roof first 611 said cracking came from ceiling downwards 711 ring camera appears failure from above first in doorway area 904 said noises came from roof and they fell floor by floor to the 3rd...

    Those threaded anchors were from the roof anchor guys (Morabito's recommended friends/apparent family) and unpermitted. These OSHA anchors shouldn't even be required on old buildings - they screw up beams of new ones! Morabito scam...

    The city has withheld any known directly relevant documents to the collapse I believe. Items I've asked for they have not been able to provide.

    The upper levels above x10 and x11 are missing in the first frame of the video provided to the public. See earlier post. (The first frame has two blue flashes on upper levels of x10. They appear to me to be electrical.

    I still think the HVAC & roof anchors caused this, why: The roofing & roof anchors work had gotten to the area of the HVAC unit and the "bootleg" penthouse. The roof anchors were being installed incorrectly (on 6" cantilever slabs where 8" was required on the remaining portion of building -...

    Noticed something today I did not notice before, in the Ring video from 711 the particles/drywall dust fall from the ceiling from left to right (from column line K to column line L) - after the slab/column along grid line K initially fails. We do not know how much longer after the video ends...

    Deformation Theory of Plasticity in Steel. Concrete works in compression. Steel works in tension. Concrete needs steel. Steel rebar is used for tensile strength. Steel gets stronger before it fails in tension, yes it's bizarre. This is why wood high rises in earthquake zones (currently CLT...

    No need to be sorry. Basically, all the evidence against roof anchor theory has been BS, for example, in yours, there was no blue and only green in Tick Tock. And the green was the EXACT color of the roofing bag left on the remaining building in multiple after-collapse videos. Also, your...

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

    I'm still lurking but nobody has changed my mind. The roof anchor work caused the penthouse roof to collapse onto the pool deck. 1) The green bag in the tick-tock is a roofing material bag (similar to that left behind on the existing building. There's no way it's a plant, haven't any of you...

    Yes this is today's OSHA roof anchor testing because there is no standard but it's "always required."
