I just watched a YouTube about that condo collapse in Florida that happened a few years ago. People were pointing to cracks and spalling concrete for quite a while before it suddenly collapsed. 60 days before it fell an engineer came up with a plan to fix it but it fell before anything was done.
I remember that happening. If memory serves, a father lost his whole family because he went out to grab something from the store for a birthday. when he came back everyone was crushed.
an investigation took place on all the buildings that the property management company owned and it was found half of their properties were in disrepair. one even had a rooftop pool that was leaking down in the parking garage basement. the cracks so big your finger could fit.
Holy shit, reading this gave me unreasonable anxiety. Thankfully, structural integrity of buildings is to be expected in Germany most of the time. Our bridges are shit but houses are fine

That’s scary as shit.
That doesn’t sound sudden to me.
Hey, don’t you know how long it takes to get a building insured?
It depends on where you draw the line of collapse. For me I’d say it kicks up a dust cloud. Everything else is just ‘falling apart’.

if our buildings give you anxiety wait until you see our bridges.
Yea thanks I’ll pass, jesus Christ 💀
Look up the story of the Citycorp Center in Manhattan; that’s always a fun one.
The architect and engineers did the right thing though on that one. And they fixed it in place and created an evacuation plan if a hurricane had come.
