| [Times of Israel] Israeli nationals reportedly among those unaccounted for after tower collapses in heavily Orthodox area north of Miami; dozens pulled from rubble as rescuers search for more. SURFSIDE, Florida — Nearly 100 people remained unaccounted on Midday Thursday, hours after a wing of a 12-story beachfront condo building collapsed near Miami, killing at least one person and trapping residents in rubble and twisted metal. Rescuers pulled out dozens of survivors and continued to look for more. Police said they were still without news of 99 people who may have been inside the apartment block at the time it collapsed. Another 102 building residents had been accounted for, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said. Officials said they did not know how many were in the tower when it fell around 1:30 a.m., "The building is literally pancaked," Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said. "That is heartbreaking because it doesn’t mean, to me, that we are going to be as successful as we wanted to be in finding people alive." Comments from a friend: What are the odds they had cameras set up way above the building that were perfectly ready to film the collapse in movie high definition quality? How likely is that if it wasn't a planned in advance controlled demolition of an abandoned, or unsafe part of a building? Just like Sept. 11th was planned in advanced for perfect filming. Seems like when buildings are found to have problems they can evacuate the bad unsafe part of the building, knock it down, get insurance to pay for it to be rebuilt on the stolen tax payers and insurance payers money. If you carefully watch that surveillance camera video in slow-motion 3-5 FPS you can see distinct flashes reflecting from the base of the structure upward prior to it's fall over, and also along the side walls after the center section collapses then an uncanny almost 5 second pause before the adjacent structure on the left collapses into it's footprint almost like a carbon-copy of WTC-3 on Sept 13th! Also look at the high res photos of the building remaining standing, notice how the wall cross-sections look as if someone cut them with a razor knife and the existing rebar embedded in the still stand concrete walls is bent downward at a CLEAN 90° downward bend-angle, almost as if the supporting concrete masonry which was embedded around the rebar was compromised somehow an then gave way, literally slid off of the same in a lateral downward motion! This is NOT normal building structural failure modes people. Finally the present video we have DOES NOT HAVE sound recording of the event. This is VERY critical evidence that is needed. I am SURE there exists at-least several more Videotaped Surveillance Recordings and Seismographic Records someplace that were in the area. I for one would be HIGHLY INTERESTED to hear the ENHANCED Sound Recording and Gravitational/Sub-surface recordings and records that were caught in the moments before and during that Building's collapse! (get it ?? Small booms in rapid succession ???) This of course assuming there are other videotaped records and similar data from adjacent Buildings, Street Cameras, Store Night Cameras, Ring Doorbell Cameras <---(get these ones especially !!!) and similar electronic recording and security devices which were operating in the area and IN THE BUILDING ITSELF during the event. Something is truly at work here. Even this close to the ocean, buildings do not just topple over like this one did on their own. |

| #9 So the city officials who signed of on this and hundreds or even thousands of similar projects took the money from the developers and retired in Florida? Hurricane Andrew revealed large numbers of homes that failed to meet code roofing standards even though government inspectors signed off on them. Corruption all the way down. |

| #8 took the money from the developers and retired in Florida? If so, 'twould be fitting he was in the building in question when it collapsed. |

| #6 When I lived in PeeAye, I had mine subsidence insurance. Here in Florida, I have sinkhole insurance. It would not occur to me to skimp on it. |

| #3 Florida is not suited for large "compact" structures frankly, its like Swiss cheese covered in sand. Sink holes subterranean streams and rivers limestone as 'bedrock' - acid rain "eats it" Geological Map -see for yourselves. |

| #2 Or the slow sinking of the building caused enough concrete to crack (and expose the steel rods to rust in the ocean air) so that it could no longer support its weight. |
