Sure.

Why is it when you post it is for the purpose of appearing more intelligent than the person you are posting to??? Sheesh...

I'm real sure when you get out of the Shower, Pool...or drive in a Storm...the first thing that pops in your Mind is the link you just posted.

I didn't know you followed my posts, I appreciate it! I have no doubt you are much smarter than I. To me its refreshing to not be so smart, life is so much easier this way. Carry on.

Holy shit...a lot more fell than I thought...

So...let's see...when was it built? How could something like that happen?

And if it just collapsed due to shoddy workmanship...why doesn't it happen more often? Folks don't give a shit these days about anything, so I expect a whole lot more buildings to just ****ing fall to the ground.

Not a single mention of even a possible link to terrorism by any of the news networks.


Were they asked by the authorities not to go there right now?

if anyone knows anything about Miami, when it rains often times the streets flood.. when streets flood, buildings sink.. the older the building the better chance of it sinking. if the building sinks at a wrong angle, the cement will crack, when the cement cracks from the top it will add more weight to the floors underneath them and force the rest of the fragile cement to crack.

I'm going with this also. And if true, a whole lot of anguish for similar buildings in the area.

It's a relatively new building... like 40 years old.

Thing fell way to clean... I've seen many demolition of buildings and this looks like a dead drop with an end pull.

A few well places column cutter charges in the sub basement... could do just that.

Al Qaeda did make a statement they have many in US... that walked in thru Mexico. That's under Joe's watch so shuuuush.

So who knows... just saying looks to odd.

Hopes and Prayers to those trapped for a speedy rescue.

40 year old building... had first stage on re-inspection completed.
My guess is they would start in the basement look at the foundations. But who know in the Bizzaro World we been in I guess they could of started with the roof.

Depending on the ethnic nature of the residents there, the disaster may be deemed RACIST!!!

Not sure what that means...but for the record, the vast majority of residents were Jewish, including 20 israelis.
