We were discussing this at the office. Florida has sinkholes. Maybe that's what caused it because no one is mentioning a bomb.
It's definitely strange.

Any new news? Did people die? It’s horrible that this happened to people and their homes.

One person dead, 99 people are missing. Of course, Miami is snowbird country, and this is mid-summer. There might be a lot of residents who are in the north this time of year, and might be counted as casualties until they are located.
As to cause, architects and engineers are saying that they can already tell the collapse occurred in the interior support structures. Right now they are still fighting fires and can't get in to study it. So far as we know now, it's either design, or materials.

I saw the building collapse on the news, then a second half collapsed soon after, it was like something out of a disaster movie.

I saw that same clip, in the show where the engineers were commenting on causes. It appeared to be a fixed camera on another building, but it happened at 1:30 am EST and it was dark. The collapse happened in two stages, and out away from the central support the floors pancaked down on the floors beneath, and so on until the bottom.

It was truly shocking to see, God help the people who were inside when it happened..

I read yesterday that the missing count had gone up to 159, and saw today that the building was said to have structural problems three years ago that were apparently not addressed.

As of now: 159 missing, 5 known dead. Rescue attempts are inhibited by frequent storms and constant fires erupting

They had work scheduled to begin soon. Because this building was condominiums, it is owned collectively by all of the condo owners amd managed by a homeowners association or a management company. The condominium fees that every owner pays, goes into a fund, some of which is for maintenance. They were probably waiting to raise enough money. Could be they were waiting on reports outlying the work that needed to be done. Then there are bids and all of that. It appears that they ran out of time.

Sadly I doubt whether anyone else will be found alive.
There are still 145 people still missing.

On TV they keep telling stories about a boy in India who survived in rubble after an earthquake for 34-days, or a baby in Indonesia who survived for 18-days...so hope rings eternal.
But I think you are right.

24 deaths now. 124 people are still missing, probably still in the wreckage. I assume in the week since the tower collapsed, they’ve had enough time to contact people who were away or traveling.
Tropical Storm Elsa is bearing down, and may become a hurricane by the time it hits Florida on Tuesday. The fear is the rest of the tower may collapse under wind-force of a hurricane. So, the plan is to demolish the rest of the tower tomorrow, Sunday. The demolition people say they can bring down the remaining building without disturbing the existing pile…which may contain some people still alive. We’ll see.
Happy Independence Day…July 4th.

Nothing to celebrate for the families of loved ones who are dead or missing.

It’s just awful. Being in your home and then the building collapses. It’s just so sad.

46 dead. 96 still unaccounted for.
The remainder of the tower was successfully demolished on Monday, in anticipation of tropical storm Elsa. There was a shadow of the tower in which recovery and rescue workers could not work, due to fear of the collapse of the remainder and/or falling debris. Now that they are able to get to the area, they are finding more bodies, more quickly.
On Tuesday Elsa skirted around the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale environs, even missing Tampa, and hit the Gulf (west) side of Florida at about Fish Creek. It is moving north, now traversing Georgia and heading up the Atlantic coast.

Death toll: now 54.
Authorities have given up on rescue. It's now entirely a recovery mission. Authorities say, given the adroit nature of the collapse, it is nearly impossible that air pockets can be large enough to hold a person. Read as: even in catastrophe, it was efficient.

It's so sad.
The best we can hope is the people were asleep and the end quick so they were not aware of what happened.
