This is god punishing the MAGGOTS for betraying American Democracy.
Definitely in the hood!
I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this video. I’m getting credits to watch this video.
We can't afford to repair buildings like these and others, we need to send more money to Ukraine.
I think its time to do something, and not spend 70% on the military.
Republican states with very little regulation and oversite can expect to see more situations like this. Let's not forget the building collapse in Florida not too long ago.
Chief Carlsen patting himself on the back as the building suddenly totally collapses.
Section 8 housing, meanwhile Democrats are putting illegal immigrants in high end hotels‼️
Obviously the people who lived there must’ve seen some signs
Wow what happened to biden "infrastructure bill " he passed what a disgrace of a president we have
Way2go building owner and landlord for putting this off as long as you can…hope you lived there too. No place is safe in 🇺🇸
R.i.p for those who loss their lifes.
Davenport is one of the many armpits of America.
Cities get federal money for improvements to infrastructure, etc and hardly anything, if ever improves. Flint, Michigan and Jackson, MS are two prime examples of this.
Most often it's lazy, corrupt politicians that are allocating money to useless programs or worse. just pocketing the money themselves.
According to many in this thread, the residents of said building have been complaining for years about the structural integrity and the city did nothing. Now, people are displaced and, injured and dead.
People need to look hard at the candidates that they're voting in.
Iowa
Reinforced concrete with steel rebar fails after corroding sufficiently-should have used basalt fiber rebar but USA manufacturers do not want to change due to start up costs.
This is what happens in America when money is more important than people’s lives. Corporate profit above all else even at the expense of human lives.
Prayers for everyone involved….SAFETY 🙏🙏🙏
What I saw while living in Iowa scarred me for life, so I can't imagine what those people in that building had to deal with.
I am sure the corruption in the area would love this light shined on them to go away.
Joe's infrastructure plan?
Scum lord horrible building maintenance
Frightful.
So much of this.
LOL, and people make jokes about people who live in mobile homes. LOL 😂
I'm from the Quad Cities. Residents have been complaining about the structural integrity of that building for a while now and Davenport did nothing. This is 100% the city's fault. The buildings around Davenport have been falling apart for ages and they refuse to do anything. Downtown got flooded a few weeks ago because the city still refuses to put in a levee.
I live in the area and that building is old too. It was once a hotel a long time ago and it was turned into an an apartment building in the recent years . Tenants who lived there as always complained to the city that there was numerous problems with the building too. It was under in construction inside the building when it happened .
This is why I don’t live in buildings like these
a nations failing infrustructure as city officials turn a blind eye to what really matters. Never willing to act until enough bodies lay dead.
Let me guess. Some people not gonna pay their rentcthis month
Where idiots where?
Wow – that building has probably stood there for a hundred years and then out of nowhere – BAM! It will be interesting to see the forensic engineering on this one…….🤔
Tofu building.
