Condo wreckage hints at less steel in columns than design drawings

One of the worst things about these disasters is that we will get months of daily reports of things being "hinted at". All the noise means that when the final cause is found, no one will care anymore or remember or they'll remember wrong and swear it was all to do with sinkholes or whatever. We need some quite and some rapid inspection of other buildings. Not hints and opinions.

I'm mostly ignoring all the theories until something definitive comes out. All this speculation is just so media outlets can sell ads.

I'm just waiting for somebody to blame 5G.

Just count the number of vaccinated! That much 5G injected into people must be the cause!

/s ... just in case

> "one of the worst things"

The set of "worst things about these disasters" includes a pile of corpses. Non-engineering members of the general public continuing to be non-engineers is not even remotely as bad as a pile of corpses. It isn't in this set.
