Don't worry about it building services knows about it
But it looks like a building post
A building repost
The repost is behind the building post
Did they ever identify the building? Is it still standing?
Who are/is "they"?
The infamous "they!" You know who they are, they are them! The ones who are!
Oh, them.
The denizens of Reddit
The ones who caught the Boston bomber?
Those guys
I'd like an update then
Obviously it’s been reposted
If I recall correctly, they DID call some state agency and everyone was evacuated the next day and the building shut down "indefinitely".
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.
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'.
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.
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.
No they did not do the right thing. The right thin would have been to come up with the plan to fix the whole thing immediately and then communicate it to potentially affected people and organizations, especially the employees working in that building or buildings that would be destroyed in a collapse.
It is completely unacceptable to omit life threatening danger from people and "face saving" and also likely "cost saving" by not having to rent other office space to stay in until the corrective measures were taken, were put over the life's of thousands of people.
Yeah, I kinda agree. They got lucky. Thousands would have died regardless of the evacuation plan if the right conditions came up.
I mean, yeah, but they could have decided that the eventual fines would be cheaper than the emergency fixes and let it happen.
No, seriously, call in sick forever and contact the city.
Looks like a shit post…
This is probably the first real shitty post I've seen on this community
We did it reddit
This shit post is really building momentum
Quiet, I can only get so erect
It's a cost-saving measure, suits figure the rank-and-file will start bringing in support pillars from home. Sort of like a potluck approach to structural integrity but much safer than a regular potluck.
We’re like a family here. When you need help, we support each other. In this case, we support the floors.
It's probably just a flex worker.
Does it know pride month is over?
now it's gay
It’s a tv prank show, take a non support beam and replace it with a slightly more bent one each day
Tofu dreg construction going hard
I’m dying, I saw this right after Cy’s update with them and you’ve made my day.
How does the ground floor look at this point? Even more bent?
I don't know where this building is located, but in the USA, "ground floor" and "first floor" are oft used interchangeably to mean what I'm guessing you would call the ground floor.
By the looks of it, the ground floor and the first floor are going to be the same place pretty soon.
Minimum Wage Workers can't melt Steel Beams! 9-5 was a full time job!
I called corporate and they said they would put in a ticket with the landlord. What more can I do?
