Holy shit.

Ya. Even my wife thought it was a demolition when she first saw the tape with no context...had to inform her after.

So far only one confirmed dead with a dozen+ injuries.

99 people are still unaccounted for.

Being condos, one hopes that most were simply vacant at the time.

There's 159 people missing. 4 dead. The death toll is going to skyrocket as they remove all that concrete.

And now the report from three years ago showing concerns about spawling and cracks in the pillars arises.

Somebody should go to prison over this.

Meanwhile, concerns are high about the sister building one block down the street. It's the same exact building built by the same contractor at the same time.

They're pulling out more bodies now. It's not going to be long before they say fuck it and start pulling shit out to recover bodies.

The news was reporting that fires were hampering any recover/rescue mission.

 

[Gomez Adams]

Odd. No mention of that here that I've seen. The interview last night with the head of rescue simply said, "we've got all the manpower we need, we just need a lot of luck."

 

[Zeedox]

It was in reports from the first night. There has been no further mentions in dispatches.

 

[Hugo Stiglitz]

I never heard anything about any fires from the get go.
