  1. If demo went forward we'd never know she died of negligence. I'm surprised Ryan's family has already written him off

  2. Please give updates!!!

  3. Seem to be the simple verification would be to check her apartment at a minimum.

  4. and the city apparently gave the building owner a $300 fine for failing to keep the building safe $ sanitary ๐Ÿคก on may 30th. like, Huh??? (according to WQAD8) like bro, the guy owns BLOCKS of real estate. is that really the best they could do??? I hope thats just the first of many fines….

  5. If they had thermal imaging of the entire building then they lied about nobody being there. That's murder. Those missing people are most likely dead.

  6. You are a disgrace to the name "Son Of Matt" sir! Your people need to keep searching for the people unaccounted for!

  7. This is happening alot lately.

  8. Heartbreaking .. prayers that they find more survivers

  9. These news make us doubt the EUA is a civilized country.

  10. I have lived in south Florida my whole life and to see a similar experience to what happen in Surfside is scary as heck! Itโ€™s like getting flash backs to that day of what happened. And on June 24 itโ€™ll be a year since that tragedy happened. Furthermore at least with Surfside they made sure to clear as much of the rubble as possible while trying to ensure the safety of first responders. My heart goes out to the missing family members but a thorough search needs to take place before any demolition.

  11. I hope and pray that everyone unaccounted for is found alive! Shame on everyone involved in not keeping this building up to safety codes. I hope you are all prosecuted and charged accordingly. ๐Ÿ˜ข

  12. If the city is trying to demolish this troubled building that fast, WHAT ARE THEY HIDING……?
    SOUNDS LIKE MICHIGAN WATER PIPE SITUATION OR SOMETHING JUST AS SINISTER. DOES A GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL OWN THAT PLACE…..?

  13. Collapse yet coming to pass ๐Ÿ˜ญ

  14. Lock up the owner. The buolding should have been condemned.

    No building above 3 floors, thatbis 100+ years old should be allow to be used, unless the city is throughly having the bulkding inspected at least once every 5 years.

    This could have been another incident like in Miami, where a more ecpwnsive poorly maintained piece of property fell to the ground killing people.

    Buildings in the US should not just be collapsing like this, and it was burned in a fire or hit by a tornado.

    As far as looking for people? I mean it "sounds" like they did a through search. But without sending someone in because the building is undafe is expected.

    If a building is falling, to risk sending people in, would not be fair or right.

    Remember WTC?! Though under notmal conditions those buildings wouldnt have fallen. When you use explosives to bring down a building, then you get something else.

    The city doesnt care about property filled mostly with minorities. They domt care of we die sadly.

    Again, look whar happened in Florida. The building had waranings for years. They should have ordered to have everyone moved out and temporarily placed until all repairs were done and inspected the buolding cor safety. They didnt and this is what happens.

  15. The crazy thing about it is people think trump and people like him is going to fix this type of stuff

  16. โค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

  17. The government are literal terrorists

  18. Sad thing is that complex was probably way overpriced yet still allowed to function. Apartment management is just as dirty.

  19. Thermal imaging is a real thing dont they have it.

  20. Thank you ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿฝ

  21. By the staining on the roof near where the collapse took place it looks like there was serious roof puddleing and therefore leakage and decay that contributed to the collaspse. That is certainly something obvious that should have been addressed before it was too late.

  22. Thank God that noone gave up. God bless her and her family. ๐Ÿ™
