It's a super weird looking building. Wonder if it was an old hotel or office building that got converted?

Regardless, my money is on post tension cables failure. I don't see how you could miss it if one of the support pillars was failing, but maybe?

My thoughts on a 40yo building... If sea-air and water found it's way into the building near any structural steel girders... Rust is a beyotch!

That's not very typical. I'd like to make that point.

sea level rise and erosion seem like a fairly realistic explanation - its only a matter of time for a state that wont allow climate change or sea level rise to be mentioned in any preparedness plans

Watching the Today video in the first post, they mentioned that the building had recently began an inspection...so that's probably not a coincidence. In typical maximize-profit-fashion, you would put that part off until it's *aaalllmost too late.

Miami-Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman said, as of right now, 51 people who were assumed to have been living in the partially collapsed part of the building have not been accounted for.

Heyman told CNN those people have "not either called out or had people call in to reach them."

Emergency officials are asking people to call 305-614-1819 to report that they are safe or for family members to report their relatives missing.

The commissioner said it is not clear if all 51 people were in the building when it fell because of "vacations or anything else, so we're still waiting and unfortunately the hope is still there, but it is weaning."

Heyman said crews have completed searching and are now shifting to recovery efforts. She said fire rescue and first responders have gone entirely through the building that did not fall, and the part that was partially compromised.

Is Miami Beach Doomed? - YouTube
Yet, there was just discussion, in the Poison's Piss forum, that the state is considering spending $1.8B to raise Hwy 1 through the Keys.

... an area that will be properly ****ed decades before mainland Florida
