Condo Collapse Eyewitness: I Heard A Yell From The Rubble ‘Please Don’t Leave Me’
This young man had the courage to walk around the building just to have a look. His intuition paid off.

That man was exactly where he needed to be to save that child.

@LAST WILL BE THE FIRST you comment is sicking to me
Rationally and logically, demons don’t exist.
@Hugy Ugy I understand that word hero is thrown around a lot. But, parts of that building could have fallen on top of Nicholas, while he was trying to help that kid. And, for that reason, I call him a hero. He risked his life to help another.
My heart aches for that boy…his mom was with him and she is still not found.

Divine intervention 🙏🏼
I'm outraged that this could have (and should have) been prevented since 3 years ago the building was inspected and it was noted that there was a lot wrong with it but no one fixed it or tore it down to rebuild. This is the direct result of people pushing things off.
No matter how many such negative reports would come up, the State of Florida doens't go according to such regulations, that is why this is happening, something is wrong with the way they think and view politics in that State. No wonder is the State that gave much support to the insurrection of Juanuary 6
You can't tear it down it is owned by the tenants that live in it. It's worth millions and millions of dollars. The tenants were putting off fixing it because it was going to cost each tenant $80,000 and not everyone has that kind of money laying around. They were in the process of collecting the money from the tenants when the building collapsed
@@victormorgado5318 The building is owned by its tenants so they decided when and what they were going to fix as they could afford to do it that's why it took years to even begin to fix it

@@morganhillfightclub2996 It’s not a competition as to which incident had more deaths than another.. We’re also not talking about a fire here.
"When you heard the voice of a child (calling for help), what drove you in to try to help?"
Well gee.. Maybe it was the injured child calling for help in the ruins of a collapsed building.
That really was a dumb question! Lol
See this reptilian news broadcaster has no empathy for us humans
Seriously. Wtf is wrong with people. !
Too bad the mainstream media is so detached from the people that the questions they ask are insensitive and dumb.
News casters report on the worst of humanity all day long so he was probably surprised to talk to a good person
Someone's gonna have to pay for this. This doesn't just happen by accident.
@Hugy Ugy no it doesn't. But it'll scare people from neglecting their properties in the future. Make an example of them to avoid this happening again.
Building was build bad plus it was water that was the culprit 2018 they told the owners there was things needed to be fix...just sad when we think about money more than human lives

It breaks my heart to see all of their personal belongings scattered all over the place, imagine being so happy with your life, living in a “wonderful” apartment next to the beach and you would never expect this to happen. Imagine walking through your home with good memories, maybe your cat ran across the same floor that would eventually collapse, chasing his toys just for this to happen? How devastating.
Not to forget these condos are $500,000-$700,000. You would hope with a property that expensive it would be safe at the very least.

And not for everyone else? Nothing divine about it.
Dumb luck would suffice and seems more likely than a divinity that half-assed it and only figured out how to save a few in the rubble.
Although, now that I think about it, maybe divine intervention kept the other 8 billion people on the planet from being in that spot when it occured. Basically makes those that died just rounding error. Yeah...that's the ticket! Everyone was saved!
When they zoom in on the beds is just gobsmacking it's so hard to process those poor families what a tragedy !!! X
@WOLFIE COP shut up
@WOLFIE COP I think they were just trying to say it was hard to see......
Seeing the bunk beds made me extra sad, too. Innocent people sleeping, trusting that they're safe.
@@ahill4642 thank u for seeing it from my point of view there's some harsh people commenting on this not understanding what we see x
There's a bit of good news concerning the person who lived in condo with bunk-bed. She survived and said there were NO children in there! She was alone, it was a spare bedroom. I was so happy to hear that!
What drove you to help?? Uh, being a decent human being. What an odd question from the reporter.
Uhh yeah. Like well I didn't have anything else to do 🙄
Indeed, the liberal MSM hasn't a clue what true humanity is.
Believe it or not, there are lots of people--not necessarily that reporter just because he asked that question--whose instinct would have been to run in the opposite direction.
So he asks the question so the guy can explain it to those people.
I wouldn't want to meet the kind of people who could turn away from a child or anyone else in that situation, but trust that they're out there.

Structures are always collapsing in South Florida. The pedestrian pass at FIU and the parking garage a couple years ago. These developers are so greedy and our politicians just take their money.

are you one of them? I see this comment everywhere and it makes me wonder what we are thinking. everyone wants people "like this" but nobody wants to "be like this." it all starts with you, if you present a problem, dont be surprised when you are part of the solution :)
That poor child must be so scared. Thank you for saving him. 🙏🏻 for everyone involved . Prayers for rescue dogs and workers also. 😭
Who ever gets sued over this horrible avoidable tragedy will just file for bankruptcy protection and then establish another company under a different name. This is so heartbreaking, my prayers are with them. This simply shouldn't happen in this country with all the strict building codes that are in place. The building was sinking so why was it still being rented?
One word: greed
i like how poor broke ppl blame everything without knowing nothing. a building collapsed thats it, what does that have to do with republicans or democrats or wealthy ppl. you all sound really stupid..
@@henrykleber8611 almost as if actions by a certain political party allows less regulation allowing corners to be cut that lead to things like this.. Buildings built to code and properly maintained and inspected don’t just collapse, there had to be negligence in multiple ways for results like this. Who cares if lives were lost though right? As long as we benefit the owners by allowing them to save their precious buck
@Toni Sumblin Republicans don't complain about regulations involving safety- it's regulations involving excessive government control.
@@GameChanger597 which safety falls under. They complain about any regulation that prevents them from cutting corners. Which is why in Florida the owner of this building was able to get away from repairing the many known issues with the buildings structure.

You'd think First Responders would walk around the perimeter of the condo building. Hmmmm. God bless you Nicholas for finding the little boy.
seriously, a civilian can find a survivor but rescue personnel cannot....
For all their brave work, cops, firemen and ambulance workers can be surprisingly inept at times. Seen it myself, so I didn't just make that up.
This happened in Florida, this is a new situation for them. They have to take precautions to protect themselves, and they have a large area to canvas to search. It sounds like this guy took a risk, that could of put himself in danger and lucked out saving that little boy. Hero yes, but it could of made him a victim too.
Oh, good grief. The first responders had barely gotten there. This guy happened to be on that side of the building before them. This is not an example of the first responders just twiddling their thumbs and doing nothing. It's just timing.
Galina and all u others stop stop berating the rescue personnel I was in a tragedy and I wouldn't be alive today without first responders and yes there are civilian hero's and Nicholas is one 💔
My heart is breaking for that young boy.. thank goodness this HERO was there and came to help him and let him know he wasn't alone! 🙌❤️ I hope his mom is found.. 😣😔

I've been following this news story on multiple channels. This is a tragedy, and my heart, thoughts, and prayers go out to everyone there. To the victims, and the first responders, and to everyone covering this tragedy. Still, it is disappointing to see that there are a few heartless trolls who are giving dislikes to the news coverage, or using it to push their political beliefs into this tragedy. It is sad to watch these cowards espouse their bias and hatred while hiding their identity since they refuse to stand by their comments, views, and beliefs. If you feel that much vitriol, then you should be willing to face your family, friends, and even your detractors without hiding. Of course, they will not do this, and if they are exposed, then they do everything they can to back pedal, deflect, or mitigate their words and actions. They will blatantly lie, and blame everything and everyone just so they do not have to admit the truth.

@@megc6475 they are trapped by the Devil’s game. They need prayers too
Given this witness said "The ground shaking and rumble before the building partially collapse,..." , it look like some sinkholes under the building foundation but could not discovered during regular maintenance check-up . Just wonder during the structural inspections, do the inspectors have any kind of scanner to find any sinkholes or structural defects that can not found by visual check?
I'm sorry I'm not seeing a sink hole. Even if its under the building seems to early imo.
There are sub-surface spaces usually left to run plumbing through whenever a building is being constructed. Typically those areas are filled with concrete supports though rather than being left mostly open. It wouldn't make sense to have a crawlspace under a building like that
I read somewhere that the city and the building/property owners knew the ground was slowly sinking for awhile before this.
@@philbuell6657 that's messed up. If they knew such information why did they allow people to live in a risky building?
The guy said it reminded him of 911. I pray to God that those helping out do not get sick from breathing in all those toxins from the dust etc...
It looks like an air strike, imagine the poor people of Syria for example who are subjected to this on purpose. Inhumanity and we need to say stop.

What a good man. Bravo. So happy to hear he stayed and helped this child in distress
RIP ALL THAT PERISHED IN CONDO COLLAPSE 🙏✝️♥️
I think 1 died
Let's hope that's all that died.
The way the floors pancaked indicates that the structure failed first at the very bottom, which when the support down there disappeared everything above began free-falling downward, almost as fast as a demolition crew could do it. If I lived in a building in the area built by the same people with the same structural design, I'd get out at least temporarily, too. Also, they should probably shut down the elevators in any buildings showing signs of structural damage, as the vibrations they make rushing up and down could probably trigger a failure in a building as badly structurally compromised as that one was.
They said it’s a sister building a block away. They were talking about evacuating that building until the structure is looked at.
Good points. And inspections 3 years ago showed signs of exactly what you describe. Cracks in the building, water in the parking area. The building owner will surely be sued into oblivion. Frankly they deserve jail for this level of neglect.
@@ahill4642 150+ of the "building owners" are currently buried under the rubble of their collapsed homes, already in oblivion.

The Condo Association apparently felt the structural repairs detailed in the 2018 report were too expensive, so the majority voted against doing them immediately as the engineers who made the report suggested. Instead they kicked the can down the road until the state requirement for recertification at 40 years out from the completion of the building forced them to to start on the work this year, and they paid the price on the negligence of the maintenance of their homes.
It's having the heart of Jesus that drives a person to go and help someone in a situation like this!!!
Hello how are you doing?
Thank you to this man for signaling for help instead of trying to do it himself. Thank you to him for being there, for looking, for taking those extra steps…
Praying For This Child One Of The People Killed Was His Mother😢😢🙏
💔
That child with comfort love & care will recover, heal in time.
This is so sad and hard to hear. Good bless these people and their families
This is tough to see! My heart & prayers are with them all!
Thank you Nicholas, for being a good guy, being there for that little boy when he clearly, desperately needed you~ my thoughts & condolences go out to everyone involved.
God bless you young men ; the boy and everyone that is in the building 😔🙏🙏
The ground gave in looks like a sink hole
😳🤔
That's what I am thinking
@J NS yeah bystanders heard a loud boom followed by a tremor...indeed explosions
@J NS when buildings collapses there is a sound like an explosion but it's not .
@J NS Nutjob conspiracy theorist.
Thank you Nicholas. You're a good man.
His mom was one of the few bodies recovered and identified within the last 24 hours. My heart goes out to this boy.. so heartbreaking.
That poor kid. He's only 15 :(
@@ct92404 exactly. I lost my dad at 14 - happened right in front of my mom, brother, and I and we had PTSD and other issues as a result of it while growing up. I can't imagine how much worse it would be if it involved an entire building collapsing. I know the pain he faces and I just pray he has a lot of love and support.
And on the flip side.. I bet if his Momma had one dying wish as that building was collapsing- it was to save her boy. At the end of the day, I am happy for that Mom that her child made it. It's probably all she would have asked for ❤
@@bazinga9473 I am so sorry. 😞 I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose a parent, especially when you're still just a kid. I hope you're doing better now. But yeah, at least her dying wish came true and her son was saved. This whole thing is making me cry. Changes have to be made, this can NEVER happen again.
@@ct92404 thanks for the kind words. We are all doing great - we remember and miss my dad everyday (20 years passed this year) but I have an amazing Mom who dragged us out of the abyss. She is truly God-sent.
I agree with you about the building code changes! In this day and age, it's really inexcusable for things like this to happen. I also hope that in the future, significant structural issues found during an inspection require an evacuation until resolved. It might be inconvenient, but it will act as a deterrent to building owners/managers, etc who procrastinate expensive repairs.
Isn't there a lot of areas in Fl that are built on porous limestone? I'm no geologist but could that be a potential reason or secondary reason. So sorry for anyone dealing with this horrible event. Thank you Nicholas
Who the heck build that building, take their building license
It was the lack of maintenance, not the actual construction
A lack of many things
They need to inspect the buildings more often than every 40 years. It hit the 40 year inspection mark right when it collapsed.
And it was literally having work done to bring it “up to code” and then an “explosive” was detonated at around 4am. Coincidence,I think not...
@@manashawest VERY interesting and questionable too.
Hello 👋
This is so sad I hope there are more survivors omg my heart goes out to all the families
So glad it was you who was there to help. Thank you.
From another video that filmed this and from what he just said, this sounds almost like a building demolition. There were a couple of explosions from what I saw in the video and what he heard. May God be with the rescue crews, the people who may still be alive and trapped and the families waiting to find out if their loved ones survived or not.
Well when electrical lines are being torn away, there will be flashes etc.
What video
The next building door 8701 park , the condos unit were selling for 2 million to 10 million , there are 70 unit in that 18 story and only 7 unit left to sell , Big demand for the 8701 park 2 sister building , surfeside 8777 unit sold for 600k .
Thats exactly what it looks like 😭😭😭😭😭😭😔😔😔😔😔thats horrible
So sad, prayers for the families and or a boy. Thank God for that man being for there.
Was there a whistleblower who lived here ? 🧐 building don’t just collapse out of no where !! Thank God that Nicholas was where he was supposed to be to save that little boy!!
Thank you Sir
Sending Love Strength Serenity and Prayers 🙏 for everyone involved.
He did best he could...if it were me, NOTHING would have stopped me from getting to the child.
I'm sure.
Nice sentiment but you never know what you will do in any shocking situation like this.
They did the safest and best thing. Just jumping in without knowing what you are doing has a high probability of making things worse. It could have caused debris to shift and ended up killing the child. How would that have helped. The best thing to do was exactly what they did. Stay with the victim, reassure that help is on the way and alert the professionals to rescue the child.
He did the right thing, if he had done more he could have caused the rubble to shift and crush the child, he was in the right place at the right time.
Then the firefighters would’ve had an additional person to rescue and you could’ve made the situation worse. He did the absolute right thing by alerting the experts and comforting the child. This is real life, not a video game. You need to think before you act.
My heart breaks hearing this I try to disconnect from it but it’s so heart wrenching
Bless you for all the rest of your days🙏✨🕊️ I cried and cried when I seen that young man being pulled out. Praying for all the missing and their loved one's 💞
Prayers going up for the people🙏
Thank you Nicholas.
Thank you Nicholas!! I dont know you or the boy that survived but thank you for finding him! Thank you for following your heart.
A good story from a tragic situation. He was there for a reason. THANK YOU FOR CARING!!
I hope the owners and city pay billions. The families deserve it!
Building don’t just fall something fishy about this no doubt get covered up like all horrible governments do
Next door had construction. Cracks appears in this building.
Lol when will people wake up? WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP PEOPLE ARE DIEN LIVING A LIE
Not really sure why any of those people are standing right under that building, it could finish crumbling any moment.
To try and help any people trapped in the rubble... Did we not watch the same video?
@@thud. They were just "standing" I didn't see them moving, just talking. All I'm saying is, they could be able to see better if they were out from under the roof.
@@thud. I just watched Global News video and a gentleman was so upset because he said, "no one was looking in the rubble for survivor's, they were on the other side of the building, check it out. The whole situation is a mess.
@@floridagal150 I think someone told them not to go because it may collapse any time so they're in danger, unfortunately in situations like this they don't care about people that are buried there....... they just want to avoid more victims it's sad but it's true.
God bless him. I hope the boy is safe and May he find his mom. I hope his dog is safe too. What a wonderful human.
Prayers for all of these people and their loved ones 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
God put those 2 angels there to reassure that little boy. Praying that his mom was found safe. 🙏
It was just pure chance. God put them there so that the boy could be saved? Well where was Good right before that? God gets praised but never takes the blame.
It’s have a heart of Jesus Christ
My heart goes out to those caught up in this tragedy, I hope some can be found safe but I fear this is very bad. With love from the UK.
Thanks for caring. ♥️🇺🇲
And Canada!

No choice mate, family is family. Stay safe.
