Structural causes behind Miami building collapse

A residential building in Surfside, Florida, collapsed, leaving 150 people unaccounted for. The cause is unknown, but a 2018 report highlighted structural issues, including water damage and poor repairs. A contractor observed significant water damage before the collapse. The building had been sinking since the 1990s, but experts are cautious about linking this to the collapse. An eyewitness reported a sinkhole forming before the incident, and experts suggest a structural failure beneath the pool deck.
