#Iowa #Davenport #BuildingCollapse
source
Common sense just says don’t rent here. I mean look at the building why would one ever live there
I worked as maintenance and housekeeping for them and lived in the davenport as I did..they wanted us to clean and fix each apartment as fast as possible and I did not agree with that..they paid us crap and ragged us about every little thing or if it wasn't on time The manager was banging the maintenance guy and she was married…the owner never came around he had his dogs do everything. Also I saw bricks fall and seperate..when I raised concern they let me go..might wanna check the berg building next to it he owns that too along with the executive square.😂oh he sold it he prolly sold it right before he knew it was done for and got out.. really should go after the owner I worked for too
Iowa task force from souix city and cedar rapids sent divisions to go in there.but around 5 am today the put tarps over the fences
Tragic.
New York city is about to get this reality check. Facades are crumbling all over Manhattan.
Why was this landlord not reported and why didn’t officials red tag the building and evacuate residents?
And the were going to demolish, shame.
The property owner needs to be locked up for murder
The city of Davenport is trying to cover it up because they are at fault too. They said it passed the inspection when tenets and others contractors always said it was unsafe.
The city of Davenport event said the building was empty after there search because they wanted to tear the rest down-then hours later a women is crying for help from a window
The owner must be held accountable to the tenants for the known damage to the building!
Blame the city for allowing the building to be inhabited and not condemned years ago.
The property owner sends his prayers… I'm sure his prayers are super helpful in light of all the other stuff he's done since taking ownership of this fiasco.
The praying owner of the building and the City of Davenport building inspectors have matching black eyes swollen shut from years of looking the other way until a demonstrably horrible apartment building finally collapsed so close to City Hall in downtown Davenport.
Wow…. Extremely sad story of this building collapsing. Hopefully those 3 people are found soon and end up being okay, but I pray for all the other people hurt and/or worse 😔
the building inspector appears incompitent.
what about using the Atlas robots from boston dynamics to remove the debries?
🙏 Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏🙏
"Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that
the mercy of the Lord may quickly come
and lay hold of the beast,
the serpent of old, Satan
and his demons, casting him
in chains into the abyss, so that
he can no longer seduce the nations.
Thank you for everything
CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
LORD GOD. Amen."🙏
If you can't look and remember the words, just read and pray them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏☺🙏
😳 Disgusting and Deplorable on all levels!!!
And to think the Mayor and City officials scheduled the building for Demolition 16 hrs after collapse.
Your Sins are Forgiven and you will never taste Death; once you Believe in ME AS GOD JESUS CHRIST IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH #777MANN JOHN 3:16 Literally 🥰
Horror ☹️
used the dudes mugshot, ouch.
so it was known it imminently was going to collapse but nobody told the tenants?
Property owners should go to jail for neglect.
The landlord offers thoughts and prayers!? gotta be a Republican… just words but no action in fixing his building
American archaic infrastructure. Maybe America should blame the Chinese for being the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail. Maybe America should blame the Japanese for having bullet trains way back in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. America, 59 years behind the rest of the world. Last year there was radioactive water leaks in Minnesota and now Philadelphia and Louisiana. Where is Biden's infrastructure funding? Surely DeSantis hasn't used the infrastructure funds to send migrants from another state to another state like he did with the Covid funding.
I smell a lawsuit. I think thee city should do all it can, while they can, to ENSURE every family in this building is housed in their own homes and are paid compensation for the property they lost. It's the least they could do. Or wait for the lawsuit to earn a place in the HALL OF SHAME. May God's Justice be served. In Jesus Name.
so what is the significance of the thermostat being at 57 degrees. is that just a snapshot of a moment in time where the building was inspected or is that below some sort of buiding code?
The owner offers his prayers and hopes the building doesn't collapse on anyone else.
They are not "trapped" they are buried. There's no reason to risk more people's lives to recover dead bodies.
If they weren’t in the building when it collapsed, they wouldn’t be trapped.
He should be charged in their deaths.. if they did pass. Negligent with peoples lifes at risk!!!
Prayers.
I hope these people get paid. I hope they get their lives back together. I hope they can move on from this whole situation and I’m sorry to the people that lost family.
Yeah. The officials who decided to destroy the building before a thorough search will lose their re-elections. The building owner should be prosecuted for every death. Penalties for these kinds of neglect should be genuinely punishing, instead of never-ending slaps on the wrist.
