Looks a like a progressive collapse from the top down. It doesn’t look like a crane triggered the collapse.
That's what that video looks like to me. The weight of whatever collapsed at the top kept forcing downward, collapsing more and more of the building, I guess until they hit some stronger supports / wider part of the building, which stopped the collapse.
With that much top-down pressure, I don't see how they can possible salvage any of that. Who would trust it?

So this is an engineering screw up?

They won’t. And now that it’s collapsed and weight isn’t sitting where it should, everything under it or attached to the part that collapsed is getting more stressed

The rooftop pool will now be on the ground floor.
Or is on the ground floor.

I’m hearing that they were flying structural steel beams up and they hit a steel beam or column on the floor below and it started a domino effect.
