My uncle was part of it and he left 3 minutes after it collapsed and came back to whiteness his best friend die😢😢
Direct consequences of electing morally-corrupt, fascist, red party politicians to run your state.
Praying for all the families who lost loved ones are the ones that are in the hospital fighting for their life
Where are the horizontal pipe struts that keep the frames from swaying. Those 8" girts and purlins wont hold that into place.
you know what wasn't 'technical' the plans and design of this structure
ahh… a merican workmanship today… just like boo-eing, pure cra..pp
Potato engineers, and those who permitted it. Congrats Idaho you are MAGA! I bet it was funded by federal money.
OMG !! Where is the system to hold the metal to the foundation? (As in hooks in the cement that hold the metal in place with bolts)? Or tension cables inside the metal part. It looks like there is nothing holding metal to cement. Can this be? #Deathtrapwaitingtohappen #OSHA_DOL
American archaic infrastructure. China are the world's leaders in infrastructure and fast speed rail so maybe blame them for the US being backward. Maybe blame the Japanese for having bullet trains way back in 1964 when The Beatles released their first record album. Last year there were radioactive water leaks in Minnesota and now Philadelphia and Louisiana. Where is Biden's infrastructure funding? Surely DeSantis hasn't used up all the infrastructure funds to send migrants from another state to another state like he did with Florida's Covid funding. In 2022, there were more than 1,000 train derailments in the Divided States.
Looks alot like an engineering problem. Mainly because that metal looks ridiculously thin compared to other ironworker built structures. I get that thinner metal over a longer span like a hanger would reduce its dead load but to make it so thin could also reduce its load bearing ability. That or the crane collapsed first causing the rest to cave in.
None union project for sure.
"Big D" Builders is a wild name for a company
CLOSE THE BORDER!!!
Rip to those affected
I'm no engineer but it looks like it wasn't structurally sound, and so the building failed and as a result of people being inside, parts of the failing structure struck and killed those inside or near the structure. That's just my guess, again not an expert.
Prayers for those lost.
😢😢❤
I'm not an engineer by any means. But it looks like the building collapsed in the center.
Who is John Galt?

You want to know what caused it? Look at what the Idaho state government deregulated. This was inevitable and it's going to happen again.
A diversity-hire in charge of project.
That is what happens when you build things out of Potatoes!
It's something you would see in the Final Destination movies.
Idaho is a sh*thole🤷♀
Third world country
