I guess they really meant it when the sign said 'No Diving'.
Seriously though, this is a common sight in South Asia. Buildings wear out, fall down, and Western media may or may not mention that it even happened.
This isn't supposed to happen here though. We suffer building codes, endure inspectors, and theoretically end with buildings that don't fall down.
This isn't a tragedy. This is a record setting instance of negligent homicide with triple digits involved. The cracks were there, the inspections saw it, noted it, but walked back out with some notion that it wouldn't just fall right down eventually. How, why, and WHO? This cannot be an 'Everyone is at fault, so no one is to blame'. Oh ..No. This has to have people accountable, standing for their actions, and more importantly, omission of action.
Just how can half an apartment building on Miami Beach just ...fall down? I suggest, it did no such thing. People were required. People allowed it to fall....and this is unacceptable.
