This is as close as we have to security camera video as a resident of the Champlain Towers South had her Ring camera installed in her condo and luckily they were away for the day. Their ring camera captured the collapse of the Miami condo building as it happened and in this video we step through it frame by frame to show you things that you might not have noticed before. We also show you the proper places to donate to help the surfside cause without getting scammed. do not donate to any person website or entity asking you for money for surfside that isn't part of these two links below that have been vetted. Anything other than those two sides below are likely to be scams. one person has already stolen the identity of several of the dead victims in trying to get credit in their names.

I think the issue here is your immature whining. I showed the entire 13 second video right at the beginning and then gave an analysis. So if you sat through it and didn't like it that's your fault this is on you there was a lot of people that really enjoyed the analysis and the frame by frame walkthrough.

@thewayxdawg 2 года назад

What's your opinion on that jump in time at the beginning? I feel like there's more video before what's being shown. I have ring cameras and they will start to record when there's motion, then record for the time specified, then there's a brief break in the filming as that time of recording stops and the next "session" gets triggered by more motion. It's not one continous clip. Could be we're seeing the last "snapshot" capture before the video starts recording the motion. So the box is there against the wall in the snapshot, building moves, Ring picks up motion and starts recording and that's where we start with the box leaning in the video.

@LakeNipissing 2 года назад

Two things I would point out: The view of the couch is likely distorted by the wide angle / fish lens. Even what the camera is resting on looks curved up at each end, but it is likely a straight, flat surface the camera is on. But a very important detail is the angle the debris is falling ! The camera is 'level' with the living room, but I don't think the floor of the living room is level with the ground anymore. Draw a straight line 'down' at the same angle as the falling debris at 0:36 in the video... this room is now tilted about 10 to 15 degrees down on the right side!! That would also explain why the QLED TV box tipped that way.

@merrywalsh2809 2 года назад

@kathypriest95 2 года назад

Yes. It happened before the camera is activated but doesn't move again. Maybe because by slightly collapsing it temporarily stabilizes until all the other pressure is too tight it smashes out and then no support for the bottom and then it all gives way ?

In this video he even mentions that the ceiling of the parking garage was most likely falling and that's the crashing noises she was hearing. Good thing she chose not to ignore that. I feel people should've known it wasn't construction. What construction happens after midnight? Not blaming them though. A building should always be structurally safe and sound. The lady who woke up heard and saw the building cracking before her eyes, changed out of her robe into clothes. Grabbed her purse, put on her shoes and escaped before it collapsed definitely had more than 20 seconds to get out. This is when it was cracking and moaning before the actual collapse. The building gave warnings.

@dorbie 2 года назад

The angle of the falling dust suggests that the entire room is tilting increasingly to the right with the video ending at about 20 degrees of tilt. The camera is moving with the room so any translation is relative to the mounting point of the ring camera and therefore movement only shows deformation of the room. The deformed partition indicates shearing between floor and ceiling which seems to accelerate in the final frames. It would be an illuminating exercise to rotate the video over time to keep the falling dust vertical and give a more realistic impression of the room's changing orientation.

@HomeGypsy 2 года назад

The particles are just very light and drifting. Take a freeze frame and tilt your phone. To make the debris vertical the furniture would have to be sliding and it's clearly not.

It's the outer wall being pulled right & the camera is coming with it !

@dorbie 2 года назад

@@Guernicasccs The particles follow a consistent and increasing pattern and they all fall in near parallel fashion. They are not drifting they are falling quite rapidly as the motion blur and bouncing off the sill shows. You can literally see the parabolic arc of individual particles after each bounce proving categorically that they are not drifting. You don't know what the angle of tilt required is to cause anything in that room to move would be.

@dorbie 2 года назад

@@deedewald1707 Correct, movement of the wall the camera is mounted on is part of the deformation although distinguishing anything other than relative motion of everything and the tilt from the apparent gravity vector is conjecture. You can clearly see the shear between floor and ceiling in the back of the room indicating a pronounced rhomboid deformation in that region.

When the falling debris starts to come down at an angle, since we assume gravity will have the particles fall vertical to the surface of the ground, you can in your mind rotate the footage clockwise to bring the lines from the debris to be vertical. Doing that shows that the section of the building in this footage would be leaning to the right as the collapse is occurring.

It gets 'white' because night security cams have INFRARED LEDs emitting IR light. To the naked eye, this apartment was probably pitch dark. The camera sees the IR light it shoots out, bouncing around the room lighting it up in IR (which we can't see but the camera can, it shifts it to visible light during recording) SO: anything close to the camera, gets VERY LIGHTED UP because the IR LED's are meant to 'light up' a 30 square foot area... We have had IR emmiters and cameras for some 30-40 years...

@photographicswoman3538 2 года назад

Jeff, as a professional photographer I can help you with a few issues regarding this video. To begin with, please know I have watched the Ring footage quite a few times outside of your video. Ring cameras use a wide angle lens (a lens which is less than 35mm on a camera with interchangeable lenses) which is why the image appears the be bowed towards the viewer, and why the furniture on the right seems to be on an incline. At the point in the video where everything goes white, the Ring camera is slightly shifted from its original position, giving the viewer a slightly different vantage point. This video provides invaluable data, however it’s necessary to understand the issues I’ve addressed when analyzing the footage. On a different note, I want to thank you for all of your hard work concerning the videos you’ve published concerning the late Champlain Towers South. Having once worked for an engineering firm, I know it is an extremely technical field and not easy to understand. You have a wonderful way of breaking down complex information so those of us who are not engineers can understand. You and Building Integrity are the only two RU-vid channels I watch in an attempt to understand this catastrophe. Thank you for your time and expertise, and please know I greatly appreciate all of your hard work.

Looking at the original video on twitter without the high brightness, you actually can see the building is moving all the time. The shadow on the wall next to the TV is constantly moving...first slowly, then faster towards the end of the video... Also the wall/column on the left curved more and more to left during the video. The last frame of the inside footage shows that the building actually collapses. The wall/column on the left is breaking at the top third of the image and additional cracks appear at the ceiling right next to it. Also the immediate pic after the initial frame looks like the wall is that tilted so that the TV box already fell :O This could mean the building was tilted already including the camera itself.

@jeremycovelli 2 года назад

I think that stuff raining down is actually starting to fall toward the front of the building.. as in the front wall is already pulling the unit down at that point, the box falling forward also supports this. The camera points slightly to the left of center so it just looks like it's falling to the right. I think entire unit is already slowly falling toward the front wall until the last few seconds when the left side starts to fall also. In the full speed video you can also see the unit moving independently of whatever the camera is on. Also note that in the frame where the big box first moved, the camera is at a lower point than it was in the previous frame (pick any point in the unit and compare frame to frame). To me this says the whole front wall dropped at that point and is also possible already disconnected from the rest of the building or at least the area around that unit That groaning sound is terrifying.

The way the door frame column/section leans to the right, it looks more like the left side of the apartment is being pulled down by a column (or a set of columns) failing in a section of the building that is further to the left of the series of M columns. Maybe in the K or I section and further into the building like K8 or I8? That is right around where the coastal construction line runs north/south through the building.

During the video you mentioned that the unit was shifting to the left, but I believe at this point the camera was actually shifting to the right and the unit was stationary. The camera was on that outside wall and to the right of the camera was the column just in front of the M10 / planter column, so I believe that was the point where that column failed and could have caused the camera to be pulled right towards it.
