Search For Possible Survivors Of Florida Condo Collapse Continues

1. Coded and staged.

2. It’s very slow. They should collapse the structure looming over the pile to eliminate the threat of it collapsing and then get to it with the heavy equipment. Apparently they have not considered magnets and vacuum machines. They bodies will be in advance decay before they find them and that’s going to make ID difficult. Gaza rescue could help, they have a ton of experience.

3. they needed jack hammers, more people.. not rock by rock in buckets. they should have allowed every willing person in to help

4. On June 24, 2021 a twelve story condominium named Champlain in Surfside, Florida suddenly fell in a burning smoldering ruin. The names and numbers of dead are not fully known now. Soon following came reports that the structural integrity of the construction had for three years been known to be dangerous. The inspectors were there. The engineers were there. They saw the damage. They reported it. The knew the consequences of the exponential increase in damage if left that way. They reported it. The only response to the reports seems to have been ignorance. Ignorance is not good policy. It had its costs and claimed lives in all ages. If you think education is expensive, try ignorance. The hellish spectacle now presented to us was preventable. A look at history provides thousands of examples of preventable man-made disasters.

   In fact, there is a history of natural and man-made disasters. One begins with the origin of the universe.There are interesting facts in this history. One fact is many thousands of preventable man-made disasters have happened worldwide and continue to happen. There is no end of them in sight. In most incidents security and safety regulations were ignored. Sure, those in charge knew what to do and how and when to do it. That was all well and good, but the crux of the matter was they neglected to do it. Catastrophic consequences ensued.

   The shuttle explosion in 1986 off east coastal Florida made history after an engineer warned of defective O-rings, and advised them to cancel the launch for further inspection. The Johnstown flood in Pennsylvania happened because they neglected to maintain a dam. In Beirut, Lebanon they stored ammonium nitrate fertilizer in large quantities. It was kept in dangerous conditions inside a major city.The authorities were warned numerously of the precariousness. Indifference and ignorance were the answer to that. And another blood-drenched article for the story of mankind. The attacks of September 11, 2001 came after years of explicit detailed warnings. It was an English teacher in South Korea in 1997 who had extensive intelligence on the who, where, when, how and what would happen in Washington and New York. Again another valuable windfall for prevention was disregarded as meaningless. Law enforcement did not forward information to the FBI. The law required it. It was ignored. Not long ago 78,000 people died in an earthquake in the People's Republic of China. It was reported a large number were killed in buildings of substandard construction. They had not built to code, and everybody knew it.There was the mass murder of 17 students at a high school in Parkland, Florida about 3 years ago, and the wounding of 17 other students. That horrific misfortune came after 39 warnings to police and sheriffs, and 6 to the FBI. A category 5 hurricane tore its way east to west across the Atlantic ocean in the early 1900s. It headed toward the gulf of Mexico. Cuba had an eye on it for quite a while.They contacted the authorities in Florida and elsewhere. They warned extreme weather would make landfall in gulf coastal Texas or Louisiana. The warnings were disregarded. They did not forward the information. It struck full-tilt in Galveston killing about 2000 people. It went north and killed 6000 more. It made its way to Canada, turned left, crossed Alaska and the Bering Strait. It blew out in Siberia. When asked why they had not heeded the warnings, they said they did not trust the Cubans and communists.

   Many thousands of preventable mass killings are recorded. Many that were not prominent are not commonly known. Whether they were recent and widely broadcast, lesser known or forgotten and lost forever in the sands of time, willful negligence and indifference were the causes, horrific suffering and death were the affects.

5. I dont know if this is dumb or not but wouldn’t starting from the top down just compress the debri even more? Why not start from the outside? I dont know . God be with these people

6. Crepe people.

7. Putting rocks into small kids size buckets?? Use bigger machinery to lift the rubble !!

8. If you know that a lady survived for 17 days in Sampoong Mall Collapse, the very same could be said here. They're alive and I hope the workers work faster than this

9. So the numbers of squished family members found in the last 24 hours didn't really change but people think survivors? american intelligence as usual…

10. US ANTIQUE INFRASTRUCTURE: "The eyes of history are on this appointment." – Buttigeig.
    
    1964 Japan's first bullet trains were put in service and the the first Beatles album was released.
    
    1998 China started the construction of 36,000km of high speed railways and high speed trains.
    
    2021 US still has NO high speed trains and NO safe overpasses or apartment blocks.

11. When this first happened it seemed people had to complain to get attention to this need for search and rescue..to think people are possibly buried ALIVE waiting on help us heart breaking. Something is off.

12. I'm praying for the families that have been affected by this tragedy. Rest in peace to those people that lost their lives in the condo collapse 😪

13. First, I hold out hope for more survivors. Preparing a community for so much loss is very difficult while loved-ones are already in shock. Also, If you delicately pick up a huge chunk of concrete with rebar sticking out everywhere, where do you set it aside to pick up the next? Also, how is it determined that that huge chunk will not be support for the pile you and others are standing upon? It seems to me these rescuers are being as delicate as they can possibly be so as to not cause more harm. Help doesn't always arrive quickly. However, how can one blame the help that arrives late? A few of these commenters have seen to many super hero movies. It's not like lifting a quilt or blanket to uncover all of the victims in one area. My heart goes out to those devastated.

14. 有一半人都在摸鱼[doge]

15. That’s So Scary This Building Probably wasn’t Build Right No Inspections Done This Happens In Our Country In Our Communities Our Cities Our Streets With No Inspections Being Done

16. My Condolences To The Families And My Prayers Are With You May They All Rest In Peace ❤️🦋🌸🌺🌼🌹🌹🌼🌸🎈🎈🦋

17. I basically know absolutely nothing about rescuing people. But, every time I see a video about this tragedy, it looks like there is such small amount of people working on removing the debris. And it looks like they work so slow. ( Again, I know nothing about rescuing people and its technicalities. My comment is just in regards to what I see in a few seconds video….and basically every single video shows the same. Slow movement. I think that if the point is to find people still alive….wouldn’t they be moving at a faster rate? And with more people working on different spots at the same time? More machines… more people…more dogs… remove, remove and remove?? I feel so bad for the families…. can’t imagine their desperation.

18. 救援队是不是在磨洋工

19. In other countries they would have entire towns of people digging through by hand. With all the need for safety in Florida, that has paralyzed the search efforts. Many people have been saved in earthquake around the world with a hands on approach. USA is too slow and careful. Time is much more important.

20. Is it possible this is a “natural” disaster?

21. IF there are any survivors- injured or not- of that horrific condo colapse COULD they survive a RESCUE at this point ? I cant be the only one who wonders…

22. They have only gotten past the two top floors. The heat is making it miserable.

23. All the residents knew about the design flaw.

24. It's been 5 days…at this point I think it's been changed from search and rescue to body recovery.

    I hate to say it but it's unlikely anyone has survived this long under that rubble….I pray I am wrong…

25. Wow, 9 people just wandering around picking up a few rocks……such urgency

26. 考古式挖掘……

27. Sadly I think there are no survivors anymore. I hope the responsible people are going to jail for this.

28. I've never seen such a poor recovery effort as this. Even 3rd world countries could do a much better job. Lift the fcking concrete slabs off the DEAD bodies underneath so families can have funerals. Absolutely pathetic.

29. What are they doing?! 8 guys wandering around on overtime looking for hope between baseball sized pieces of rock? You need to lift the building off of them to find the survivors. They must have some health and safety regulation that says they can't use machinery until it's deemed a recovery effort…wow!
