On the 24th of June 2021 at night the Champlain Towers South, a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida collapsed partially. This collapse simulation was made based on the presently available data, eyewitness, and video accounts.
The authors are independent researchers and impartial hoping to constructively contribute to the fact-finding. This study demonstrates the collapse mechanism assuming the following plausible hypothesis:
According to the data, the basement deck showed signs of extended soaking for many years. The problem was locally insufficiently patched and not rectified in its entirety. The wetting caused the deck ceiling to be weakened to such an extent that basement pillars punched through the deck where additional load had peaked at the planter area.
The authors hope to not distress relatives of victims with the application of dummy dolls in this simulation that have the sole purpose of tracking victims in potential cavities within the debris.

Corrosion, spalling, sharp corners in stress zones and small safety margins and the lack of skilled workers on-site / competent maintenance apparently DO have an effect after all...

So many just wants the world to be an overly complex system where everything happens for a reason. That reason being someone, somewhere is in charge. In reality, poor maintenance is a reason. Poor descisions by people who weren't looking more than 5 years and resale were a reason. But a paintshop circling followed by nonsense is just easier to believe than sometimes, people just die and they didn't deserve it.

@2ndavenuesw481 3 года назад

Correction: simulations are not "not real" - not what really happened. Conspiracy theories are explanations. Often there are no solid reason to discount a conspiratorial explanation, and sometimes there is confirmation of such an explanation. But if a tree falls in the forest and the media calls it a "conspiracy theory" - did it really fall?

As an engineering student, this gave me a really intense chill up my spine. I can tell that from the beginning this building had issues and they are evident in the 2018 Morabito report and the Garage video from 2020. Unfortunately they were merely shoved beneath the carpet, and this proved to be fatal. This goes on to show how important legitimate building inspections are as well as a dash of common sense. May the 97 souls lost in this tragedy rest in peace.

@@Graymenn Spawling of concrete in the basement indicating that the slab was overloaded and or severely deteriorated to the point that it's load bearing capacities had been affected. Stalactites formed in the roof indicating water infiltration, and various cracks were seen, some which had to be sealed up in a hasty manner with a urethane based epoxy. Aside from this the rise and fall of the water table would cause soil consolidation which would in simple terms reduce the density of the packed soil around the piles (Support columns embedded into the earth). Eventually over the years enough soil consolidation would occur to create a void beneath the basement garage slab and the soil itself. This void would fill up with water when the table rose. This would in turn seep between the piling caps and the garage slab and thus flood the basement. This would explain the numerous reports of constant parking level flooding. Add to this the other factors within the soil such as the sinking rate and the poor maintenance and you have a potentially destructive chain of events.

No the pool deck " columns " didn't collapse first , the pool "deck " collapsed , the columns can be seen sticking out of the top of the deck, the concrete was not thick enough over each column to support the load , if there were cross beams between each column or thick pads over each column , this world not have happened. The pool deck was always going to exposed to the weather, and was not designed properly, the tolerances were too small. In my opinion.

Heartbreaking. "Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced. Losing you has been the hardest thing I’ve ever had to live with. I wasn’t ready to say goodbye. I wasn’t ready to let you leave. I would give anything for just one more day, just one more second. But I’ve learned to trust in unconditional love. Because the one profound thing about death is that love never dies. Some bonds cannot be broken. Because even though you’re not physically here, your heart is - it lives on within me. I carry your heart inside mine. I carry it on days when I discover something new. I carry it on days when beauty unfolds in the most unexpected places. I carry it on days when I find courage to heal and to grow. I carry it with me - always. Someday we will meet again - and we will no longer be separated by time or space. But until that day, I’ll find comfort in knowing that you are still with me. Your heart safely tucked inside mine. Some hearts just belong together and nothing will ever change that. I loved you then. I love you now. Always did. Always will. Forever in my mind. Forever in my heart. I will carry you." 🙏🙏

Most likely, they would have been in their bedrooms, sure. But some may have been in the kitchen making a midnight snack, binging their favorite show in the living room, taking a shower, using the stairs and elevator on their way back to their condo, parking their car in the parking lot underneath, etc. This simulation would be useful though in seeing where each unit would have ended up in that pile. So that would be useful in locating the missing based off where their specific condo unit would likely have fallen.

Don't buy a condo. They are an eyesore from Maine to Key West. When you look at a coastal map of the US, you can see pretty much that 99% of all the plots next to the sea have been usurped by condominiums, hotels, and resorts. When not one of those then some rich person's mega mansion. There are almost no houses belonging to regular folk. Those condos, largely built in the 1970s and 1980s that popped up everywhere, are expensive to live in and to maintain. You can imagine when an inspector recommended major updates to the building that would run unto the millions, how the owners voted: Not now. Next year. And the next one, and the next one. And now you can bet all of those similar buildings are the focus of inspections and requiring major updates that can no longer be postponed.

@mr.honeybee7661 3 года назад

It wasn’t a crack… every single column in that building was not reinforced with any horizontal support. Pretty much poured concrete with zero reinforcement beneath it… it’s like building a bridge with just 4 steel pillars and the rest with concrete. The concrete not being reinforced with steel beams and the bridge breaks in 2 with the first bit of weight bearing bearing down on it. The concrete literally just falls apart. To put that into perspective, you take a piece of clay, flatten it and then play it across a gap then push down on the middle.. it splits in 2. Now reinforce it will 4 popsicle sticks and some gauze pads, it becomes much harder to crack. The problem is that they mounted 20 floors of concrete on top of literally not properly reinforced concrete.. they believed the vertical beams and concrete would be resilient enough to hold on each floor. They didn’t brace the building with horizontal beams between each column and they didn’t reinforce the concrete with horizontal beams either. Now apply that to every single floor and you get something resembling a table with just 4 legs at WWE that gets slammed on and breaks right down the middle. Hell, or taking a 1 foot by 1 foot by 2 inches thick piece of ice and then setting it on 4 wooden poles and then placing a 40 lbs weight on it without freezing horizontal beams between the ice or underneath it and expecting it to hold the weight while the weight shifts constantly on it. That’s why it’s important to not cut corners and get a few good engineers to check over one another for flaws in design..

@vickismith9550 3 года назад

I agree with your comments in regards to the majority of the video. Unfortunately, the last part of the video will not help the survivors with their healing process. Instead, it will cause them further harm. Many survivors avoid thinking of the details of how their loved ones died as a way to protect themselves from the excruciating pain that comes with that knowledge. For those who have imagined what their loved ones experienced before dying, the dummy dolls at the end of the video will only add to that imagined horror, not take away from it. Now it's not imagined. Now they have a visual of it. It's hard enough for the survivors to move through the pain of losing their loved ones; it does not help them to see a animated visualization of the horrors experienced by their loved ones just prior to their death. This video should have a warning in place before the dummy dolls are shown to demonstrate how loved ones had been buried alive… only to die moments, hours, or even days later - likely in severe pain and completely alone - because rescuers couldn't reach them in time. There is never any comfort in seeing just how horrifically a loved one suffered in their last hours of life.

If all it took was the pool deck punch throughs to bring it down, I'd imagine we'll see more like this in the future, since high rise condos in Florida started popping up around the same time, right? I wonder if hotels/resorts are better managed and structurally maintained than some of these condos. I keep hearing about underfunded reserves. I know condo associations are often fraught with drama over funding and repairs. This disaster just feels so avoidable.

My parents owned a condo next door at Champlain Towers East about 200 feet away from the South Tower that fell. They owned from 1993 thru 2013. The parking garage was always flooded with water, and the maintenance crew were always pumping out the brackish water from the garage. Always found that strange at the time, never gave it much thought. I hope the engineers are looking closely at that building and the North tower building as well. All were built by the same developer.

@dmhendricks 3 года назад

The problems with the pool deck _were_ reported in detail and did not mince words. Engineers noted design flaws and failing waterproofing that would lead to "exponential damage" if not repaired. It's unpopular to levy such huge maintenance fees on the condo owners. Human nature is difficult to change - nobody thinks it's going to happen to them. If money was no object to the victims, it likely would have been repaired sooner, but money _is_ important to people. I'm not blaming the victims - I'm blaming human nature. They certainly didn't want to die.

@aimeeinkling 3 года назад

I've been watching quite a few videos from engineers on this and while I'm definitely no expert, it does seem likely that there were fundamental flaws in the building's construction. So, while they should have maintained the building properly, the construction flaws would have eventually caught up with them.

@rhondaalbrecht 3 года назад

@@aimeeinkling Correct. However, there is a sister building that is identical to this one that collapsed, built at the same time... just 3 doors up. Champlain Towers North. It went through it's own inspection at the same time the South Towers complex did, and passed with flying colors. So, somewhere, they cut corners in building this building, so it would be the original contractors who will be at fault, ultimately. Something tells me that they actually set this one up for demolition, and made it 'look' like an accident, so that any insurance settlements would go to the families of the victims. The fact that the judge overseeing the sale of this site is rushing it through already, is very suspect. They're trying to get rid of it before the investigation is even completed. That tells me there's something to hide.

@Perykvaal 3 года назад

That said, even with a seismographic warning system, it's very doubtful the people in this building would have had time to escape, even had they jumped out the window. Total time to collapse (in live footage) was about 11 seconds, including a 4-5 second delay between the center portion of the building coming down, and the eastern portion. When any part of the building fell, it did so in 3-4 seconds. Sadly, that's not enough time for people to respond, especially in the midst of such horrendous confusion as a building collapsing around them.

@TippyPuddles 3 года назад

I heard one analogy that if they made it to the top of the building, more may have survived. They said the building did not go down like you were falling but more in a slower motion. The air conditioning units on the roof were in good physical shape.
