She has a 4,000hp bow thruster. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Dali

Looks like it just missed a dolphin: After the Sunshine Skyway Bridge disaster they went all out on the protective dolphins on the new span:

My question is about the compression/decompression rates of dissimilar materials that are attached to each other. I have no idea, but I imagine that titanium and carbon fiber will compress and decompress at different rates. So could there have been gaps in the titanium/CF interfaces created over...

"...(3) Had any of the RC column or ground beam failed during the last launch the supporting structure might not have remained static then the rocket could have shot off at an angle other than vertically upward. Consequently a huge disaster could occur if the rocket hit the population with the...

I'm wondering if they thought of trying to recover dashcams from any of the vehicles in the above parking and the underground garage. Many dashcams have a "G-sensor" that will activate the camera when certain forces are applied to the vehicle. Even if some of the cars camera image was dark they...

A YT channel named Construction Engineering & Failure Analysis (https://youtu.be/djePOXALegM) talks about this. You can actually see what looks like deformation in the pool deck in some of the photos. Or maybe it was designed that way for drainage.

Maybe they just saw a column that had been exposed by falling drywall/framing during all the swaying.

Here's a PDF that goes into a little more detail than the Miami Herald tweets: Link Also uploading it.https://cryptome.org/2021/08/Surfside-Design-Faulty.pdf

Nice Strawman Fallacy. This place is turning into Reddit.

Palm tree bark is very rough and I imagine if you hit one with your face hard enough to blacken an eye I would think you'd see cuts and abrasions on her nose, forehead or cheek.

But no buildings fell down.

I think we have to treat all witness statement times as approximate. Who goes through their day watching the clock constantly? I remember taking my trash bin to the curb this morning around 0645 but it could have been closer to 0700. There's no way I could say precisely what time it was. Know...

I never heard of the "New York Times Post" before. I go to that link and only see 3 paragraphs. It looks like they're just reposting an article from USA Today: Link You need a subscription to view that article.

The elderly and/or handicapped need to consider these things before buying a unit in a tall building. But people don't. They want that nice long range view. But what if it's the first floor that's on fire? [bigsmile]

Any ideas on how long it might take NIST to finish their report? Do they ever release any kind of preliminary report before a final one?

Ah, that makes sense, thanks. He'd then zip back to the condo in the morning to retrieve their car to bring the wife and luggage home.

@MaudeSTL: For line 6 in your spreadsheet the time should be ~11:30PM according to that article you referenced in line 4. FYI. So I was reading the witness statements in the spreadsheet and I was reminded of something that struck me as odd the first time I read about Eric Zion's account of his...

>>...Link your source please.<< Just recall reading it early on in the event. >>..Why would a Tesla smell any different when burning?..<< No idea mate. Carry on.

Regarding the "sulfur" or "heavy metals" odors, I thought I read somewhere that a Tesla in the garage had caught fire as a result of the collapse. I'm guessing it would be the batteries that were on fire and perhaps the source of the odors.

Or perhaps the water table is so high here. Reports say that standing water in the garage had to be pumped out regularly and often was a losing battle. Building Integrity YT channel actually talked about this in his recent video. He posits that the fluctuating water table level contributed to...
