    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.

The apartments were not rented, they were owned mostly by their occupants. 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.

      How is that manipulative? Asking a question about how someone was feeling is not manipulative. Just because he is a curious onlooker and not in danger doesn’t mean he won’t have any authentic emotions. If the interviewer were manipulative I imagine he would have suggested that the gentleman being interviewed felt a certain way to illicit a particularly response (I.E. You must have been terrified) Asking about someone’s emotions does not necessarily mean that people are playing on your emotions. I want to know what someone is thinking when they witness something like that and engage in an act of heroism. I’m glad he’s safe. In contrast, had he interviewed a robot 🤖 he would be foolish to ask questions about feelings and emotions.
      I think we make a mistake as human beings when we attribute our likely emotions in circumstances like that as a universal response.

      Maybe you could call and tell them exactly where to look?

      The dogs are the best chance of finding people. To give the dogs the best chance they should go in first before the area is contanimated by other traces.
      Going in like a bull in a china shop puts both recuers and survivors at increased risk. One of the hardest things to drum into First Responders is stop and think first!

    Thank you sir for saving that baby. God put you there for a reason. I hope the child reunited with his mother if not then a family member.
