WTF? Collapse in Miami
How does something like this happen? Especially the way it looks in the aftermath....it doesn't look, to this layman, as just a structural failure? It looks like SOMETHING destroyed a part of this building?

Looks like an explosion of some sort, buildings like that dont just collapse on their own.

So I guess I wasn't looking at this scene correctly.
Looks like an entire section of condos just fell down. There has to be so much loss of life here if that is true...it would help if they had a before shot of the building...but looking at it with this perspective, it's a horror story.

There would be no mistaking the chemical odor. Most explosives leave an odor also.
My guess is structural failure, as a portion of the building was unaffected.

I encourage him to look up the definition of "wetness" before doing so, because water itself IS NOT wet. Just a little FYI.

At first I thought the builder left out the rebar but you can see a lot of it in this picture. Maybe it was skipped on one or more of the lower floors? Maybe a sinkhole is at fault? Time will tell.

I was going to mention that is depends on what state water is in, but then we would have the whole blue/red thing happening in this thread.

I know what you meant, but technically, it was wrong.

I thought sink hole first thing, then the more I saw, it reminded my of OK City.
Best to keep an open mind and get the facts....if they decide to tell us.
