Mass casualty event: ‘Catastrophic’ building collapse. At least one person is dead and at least 99 people — including a group of Australians — are missing after a high-rise apartment block in Florida “literally pancaked” while residents were sleeping. As a desperate rescue operation is underway to find survivors, firefighters say they can hear “banging” beneath the rubble. Online videos showed a large portion of the 12-storey building in the town of Surfside – just north of Miami Beach – reduced to rubble, with the apartments’ interiors exposed. Miami Dade authorities declared a “Level 5” mass casualty event meaning statewide emergency resources are required, according to reports. Further shocking footage shows the moment the towers collapsed, sending plumes of smoke into the air. Joseph Waks, an Australian who has been living in Surfside for 12 years, told the ABC a group of Australians lived in the building, but he had not been able to locate them. Danny Rivero, a reporter from National Public Radio in South Florida, wrote on Twitter: “We’ve been told many Argentinians and Australians were in the building as well, and that all are unaccounted for. This is an international disaster.” link

I just wonder what could have caused structural failure...maybe this? It was a few days ago, but any 3+ earthquake can damage :wink: they even mention here they thought it was earthquake?. Im not saying it was an earthquake that caused it,yet for now i wont rule that possibility out until more info transpires...I wont rule out a DEW attack either? RIP Headlines W/ A Voice; More Condo Collapse; DeSantis' Forced Vaccination/Quarantine Bill
