It might if they have to implode it for safety.

Either this verbiage is intentional, or you inadvertently explained the problem I have with WTC7.

I’m struggling to understand how the structure can be salvaged if buckling on 21st and 22nd floor


Could be they did something to impact just those two floors.

If it collapses, will they allow the feet of a corpse to stick out over the street for weeks on end like NOLA did ?



months on end. I saw them myself 6 months or so afterward

searched it : "The legs of Quinnyon Wimberly, one of the victims of the Hard Rock Hotel collapse, were seen sticking out of the building for several months after the incident, which occurred on October 12, 2019. The body was not recovered until July 2020, nearly ten months later."

You mean you don’t trust the Twitter report coming from 12 year old Olivia Scootercaster?

Pretty Sure I Won't Follow You For Structural Advice

Floors have not collapsed yet. They are sagging as a result of columns buckling.

This is insane, you can now see it sagging outside the building and it "continues to move"








What can you even do about it other than clear the area and wait for it to collapse? Surely you can't safely send any humans inside to do any shoring, and there's no way to do it from the outside when it's 5 floors and interior beams? From the photos it looks like it's too far gone to even do anything about if they could, and it's still sagging and moving more and more every second

I think a bunch of Democrats ran to one side of the building.

I would guess that they tried to make the apartments “open and airy” and took out some kinda critical supports. Somebody’s insurance company is about to have to pay.

Dude's been in office what a month? Two?

How long do you suppose the permitting/contracting on this project has been going on?

Some of you are so fricking eaten up, I swear.

This is the same reaction my wife's leftist friend gave when the helicopter crashed into the plane in DC. She lost it on the DOD and was blaming Trump after he had been sworn in a little over a week.
