Demolition crews set off explosives late Sunday to bring down the damaged remaining portion of a collapsed South Florida condo building, a key step to resuming the search for victims as rescuers possibly gain access to new areas of the rubble.

So sad. Same sort of scene repeated hundreds of times over when Iraq was invaded in 2003.
Boo hoo
Bahahahahahahah
Imagine if there’s a missing survivor on that collapse condo.
@Colleen R yup
@Colleen R how can you be positive? crazier things have happened. is it impossible someone could have been trapped near some sort of water or be lucky enough to have bottles of water near by?
@Cougar Bait If they didn’t they risk the storm dropping the building on top a larger area affecting more victims. That building is beyond compromised and there’s no guarantee it wouldn’t land onto surrounding structures or any potential survivors. A controlled demo allows the smallest potential collateral amidst a non-ideal situation.
@Cougar Bait the building collapsed like a stack of pancakes , with no pockets of space , then there was several fires , all the smoke from them , then gallons of water to put them out , plus rain , IF anyone had somehow survived the initial collapse they would not have lasted long between their injuries , no food , no water for 11 days on top of everything else .
@Jordan Kwasnycia the building was inspected last week, and there was no damage to that section.
0:16 John mcafees evidence crumbling right there
@꧁Cat G꧂
Whoooooooooooooosh
He tweeted before he died his data was there
@Promotional Inc. I saw no such tweet. Link?
Not to say there weren’t copies there, but as far as I know there was no specific tweet about this particular property. ???
@꧁Cat G꧂ he owned a condo in this building
@꧁Cat G꧂ Basically a bunch of conspiracy theorists wetting themselves right now over their grand fantasy.
My heart goes out to everyone in this horrific accident, I know there are likely no shrivels but maybe even if it’s a small percent change hopefully they find more who are alive.
Imagine still being alive and they decide to bring down more rubble on top of you.
@Eddie Wheeler The chuckles you’ve elicit!
@thebuccaneersden
Its extremely difficult but not impossible to survive for a fairly long time under a collapsed building. Lookup Sampoong Department Store collapse in South Korea. A young woman lasted almost 12 days under the rubble after a large portion of that mall fell.
@Rj James you’re talking about human beings lives … oh just move on ? We got bigger fish to fry???
Who the hell raised you?
Slap her for me would you?
Smh
This was a controlled demolition designed to collapse the building in such a way where it does not fall directly onto the existing rubble. Now that it’s gone, crews can work faster before the storm arrives.
The whole idea of the demolition is to prevent rubble from being on top of the existing rubble pile if extreme weather were to bring it down
Yea those 100 some missing are dead a person can’t survive that long under all that rubble so it’s just a body recovery at this point
Very unlikely for sure. But there have been miracle recoveries before. Many decades ago I remember a survivor of an earthquake(Russia I think?) being found under rubble 5 weeks out.
Reminds me of building 7, hey wasn’t this John Mcaffe’s building ? Just saying
LOLZ I was gonna say the same thing
Nah McAfee apartment was just a rumor spread by goofs
Yeah I’m sure a guy like McAfee with all his eccentricities would ever set foot in a building like that.
Ya bro 7 wasn’t aired and it supposedly had to collapse for insurance coverage? These guys are using buckets! This building was Epstein’d. Is there a bitter feud for the property?
@Va Nylla 7 was filled with CIA and NSA floors it was Basically a government building and was likely holding mass information which went missing when it collapsed.
Buckets won’t help much if they are far under the rubble 😑
Ya wtf I just saw this too
no chances for any barely clinging survivors now. also where is boston dynamics and there emergency response robots seeing as they were built specifically for tragic events like this
There was hardly a chance anyways.
This is no one’s fault but the builders and shoddy regulations that allowed this building to consistently pass inspection.
This is MADE IN U.S.A quality, someone needs to get to the bottom of this. Literally
@incipidsigninsetup They were warned of cracks in the foundation before this happened.
american government searchers are lazy
Sounds like an insurance job and a quick rush to coverup all the other body’s. Wow, this sickens many I hope especially if their family’s lived in the other side.
What drugs are you on
Know much about civil engineering
Not everything is a conspiracy theory. Considering the same problems are affecting the building’s twin, this appears to be a problem of systemic design flaws and poor oversight.
only 9 day’s in………..wow that is terrible.
Wow thought it was Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Yemen etc etc!!!!!!!🤔
Using buckets?! Come on really!?
If you’re talking about how they are removing the rubble then they have to use buckets. They have to be as careful as possible to not disturb pockets that might have someone alive in them. They just can’t take a backhoe and go at it, it’d be reckless and careless…
I agree Jeffrey but I only seen one chute for debris, then again the buckets aren’t the boulders. Removing the big pieces would be terrible because of what you might see underneath
That’s what they did at ground zero after the towers collapsed.
The property value of all those condos on that stretch is likely 0 now. I would think all of them are compromised.
So heart breaking…our thoughts and prayers are with you all love from 🇨🇦
can you image someone clinging on to life in the portion of the building still standing then all of a sudden…….
The rest of the building was evacuated though there wouldn’t have been anyone in it
Last week members of the IDF were there “helping” with search and rescue…did they also help with both demolitions of the building?
Keep asking those hard questions
There’s always a conspiracy theorist for everything.
@blupheonix44 I will thanks
Imagine surviving the initial collapse only to have the rest of the building be brought down on you 😂
and you show a laughing face? ok….
They need to tell family members that is is body recovery-only at this point. Hope in finding anyone alive is gone. Time to tell the families that also.
