What caused the implosion of Champlain Towers?

[The Anonymous]

We learned from the WTC collapse that just the weight of one floor falling onto another causes a chain reaction all the way up and down the structure.

Finding the weak spot now is going to be very difficult. They may never really find the support that failed that caused the whole structure to fail!

True.

Capitalism killed all these people.

Did it? Buildings collapse all over the world, and did so before capitalism had even been defined.

And Florida not acting to prevent crap like this due to unfettered capitalism is the Republican party’s ultimate goal

Last time I checked, the government of Miami Dade County was not run by Republicans.

Fell free to check the relevant statutes, though. https://www.flrules.org/gateway/Division.asp?DivID=1071

Which deregulation caused the implosion of Champlain towers?

A condo is not part of the infrastructure.

Wow are you fucking dumb. Who do you think inspects and approves of building structures? Have another drink.

If only Florida had elected more people with a D after their name, this would not have happened.

Inspectors.

Condominiums are not infrastructure.

Well they do in Miami. So my guess is you may want to revisit that position.

Let's pick nits instead of addressing issues. Because that's where you do your best work, troll.

Inspection is an infrastructure issue and a regulatory issue. But if you want to separate them, just say so. Try making your own point rather than criticizing everyone else's. Oh, I know why. You're a troll.

No, obviously the cause of all tragedy is Republicans, capitalism, and deregulation. Ask anyone in this thread.

You are wrong to pretend that condominiums are infrastructure.

Is there any doubt the US is a third world country? Profits are more important than people.

You think they will profit from this???

sorry, no.....infrastructure is a public property issue......

Prove it.

The place was ill-built because its owners cared more for profit than for other people's lives, just like all capitalists. What's to prove, kid - it's standard?

If they are built for sale, corners will be cut. The whole point about capitalism, as opposed to all earlier systems, is that things can be made totally safe if the owners choose to spend the money. It is the nature of the system that they prefer profit.
