George Building Collapse | Three independent engineers brought in 

This is the kind of interview that the public needs to help us understand how this disaster may have happened. Well done on identifying an appropriate interviewee that makes this easily understood

This tragedy has shown how extremely important these DOGS 🐕 , their handlers and trainers are. THANK YOU for all your efforts, hope each dog gets a juicy thank you bone

I hope the people helping in this Crisis all the BEST, stay strong ❤

Excellent response about health and safety compliance vs technical compliance. The structural failure had nothing to do with OHS.

From family who oversee these type of things they straight up stated the first floor columns showed different sizes. He stated 1 of todays biggest problems is many companies dont/cant afford to pay a bunch of qualified people and end up using just about anybody with a sign "i can cement/build/etc. Cutting corners is becoming a norm. Clothes i had in highschool and uni lasted years on years now it gets torn in a few months. Even food is now more about chemicals used so it can look xyz than just making sure its healthy/pure. The foreigners missing sounds exactly like another example of construction using anybody for cost cuts... "that is until proven highly qualified."

The municipal officials who signed off the plans and also approved the many building regulation departures must be investigated.

Adding a floor always raises eyebrows but there are still a multitude of possible causes. So we will just have to wait .............

The developers should have been first on the scene. The fact that they're not and evading the investigators is very suspicious.

Well said Engineer Gundo. Been a Site Engineer on several construction sites. You have to stand your ground and not give in to pressure from Clients who want speed and cost reduction at the expense of a quality and safe structure. You give in at your own professional peril and unfortunately loss of life to innocent souls. May Their Souls Rest In Peace 🙏

Those poor people did not deserve to be injured, or die is this horrible way.They were the bread winners and now what? How are their dependents going to live? Tomorrow would have been pay day! The mental anguish of the families..lives turned upside down...sleeping in a hall,on the floor, washing in hand basins, clothes? At least food and water, juices...from caring people. Social services...huge undertaking. Think about it.

So the modifications played a roll here.

they cant find the developer at his office was he maybe at the site and is trapped?

They going to look for all the missing steel reinforcement that is visibly missing from the video!! 😮

Thank you.

Thinking of those guys on-site that had no control over this.

Why haven’t the search & rescue team from Mexico Topos (the moles) been called upon ? They are world renowned.

That concrete looks very weak to me by just looking at the color and the fact that it turned into a powder after collapse. you can not cut corners in a multistorey building.

Is there a pic of the building before it collapsed?

If they mixed the Concrete on a Friday something could have gone wrong?????????? Unbelievable Work Ethics.

BEE /Cuban Engineers ???

Thank you for your very informative remarks.

The concern with this collapse is that it looks like it's controlled just like planned explosion

The engineers made a big mistake by cutting measures on specifications,the evidence is there

Let's be honest... fly by night contractors. They take alot of chances, pushing for profit. Prayers for lives lost but this is disgusting in a south africa that has 1st world tech but bringing 3rd world thoughts. Condolences to the families involved

Why don't I see a heavy duty grabbing machine operating on the cite? Those rescuers actually look kind of confused with the whole scenario

At the moment its just all speculation....get the people to safety first....THEN then have an inquiry...somebody ultimately is liable....

I thought the engineer would be talking about the process of saving or recovering those under the rouble...?

This man speaks SENSE. Minimum standards RULE THE INDUSTRY. What has become of the Murray and Roberts, Concor, Group 5 etc. who re-wrote the BOOK on SOUND BUILDING PRACTICE. Forgot - they left for DUBAI and elsewhere where super multi storey buildings are the NORM.

Its sad whats happened to those thats deceased my condolences goes out to the Families the buldings that are now being built are badly built and its sad that most of the Artists of the old times have died they built the town and its still standing

What a silly question " you are very emotional , may ask why?" This question is ridiculous and damaging. The journalists need training in what to say in situations of trauma. Absolutely shocking interview.

This is a disaster praying for survivers 💔💔😪

Visually one can see the quality of concrete was poor. Every delivered batch of concrete has cube tests. Check with the concrete supplier and confirm the cube tests vs a core sample. IMHO the contractor is up a creek without a paddle

Sifike njani kweze politiki?

Start with qualifications. Of late anyone can be an Engineer

AAA+++Bedford, Texas

We as the Lazy Black South Africans Association (LBSAA), we would like to send our deepest condolences to the families of the deceased, We would also like to send a friendly reminder to those companies who call us lazy, if you employed our people in the construction of that building non of this would have happened, we have the experience but we won't allow you (companies) to exploit us. We just wonder how many of these buildings that have already been built but could collapse at anytime soon. You (companies) are all allowed to call us lazy, but the consequences of that would be unsafe houses, buildings or bridges, we have seen alot collapse and more will collapse in the near future.
