warrenslo said:Sara Nir's interview, they ran out of the apartment with construction noises, there was dust coming at them in the hallway. She was talking to security in the lobby fronting Collins. The garage collapsed with the first large boom (her, her son and her daughter were together at this point) she saw this from the lobby (you cannot see the first part of the collapse from this vantage point.) Then the second boom happened as they were running across Collins. This tells me the garage collapsed with the first main collapse which they would not have seen from the lobby.

Are we sure that shows the collapse of anything and not just a view down the ramp into the parking garage?
This is interesting. Video of deck failure visible through the north parking entrance. All prior to the full on building collapse.

NOLAscience said:Where did the pool contractor make his comments about the standing water in Parking Space 78? I would like to hear the exact wording.
Miami Herald said:The deepest puddle of standing water, according to the contractor, was located around parking spot 78 — an area that building plans show is located directly under the pool deck where in a 2018 inspection report, engineer Frank Morabito had flagged a “major error” in the original design that was allowing water intrusion and causing serious damage to the structural concrete slabs below.
He did not photograph that standing water because he was there to examine the pool and what was underneath it.
