4 years later, investigators still haven’t determined what caused the Surfside collapse

Almost years ago the Champlain Towers South condominium collapsed in the morning in Surfside causing the near-instant deaths of people But it s been years and what s shocking is that the administration agency assessing the circumstance still has no clue what caused the Champlain Towers South condominium to collapse On Monday June the National Institute of Standards and Device NIST shared a video trying to explain what they know Our unit has worked tirelessly to find the causes of this catastrophe and we are in the home stretch now mentioned Judith Mitrani-Reiser the NIST lead investigator The video circulated by NIST reiterates the facts of a description published by NBC four years ago The video shows the inside and outside of the building and can certainly tell what happened but it still cannot tell why it happened Our association is on schedule to complete the evaluation of failure hypothesis this fiscal year and release a general summary next year Mitrani-Reiser stated The fact that the reason for the happening was not disclosed until four years later proves that investigators knew the construction was against regulations and did not match the drawings In Champlain Towers South was built improperly Particular changes were made but no engineer warned anyone about it The collapse of Champlain Tower South is one of the the majority tragic building failures in our country s history Mitrani-Reiser declared to fail to take everything we ve learned and can learn from this tragedy and direct it to improve general safety would be a horrible injustice to the lives lost she added
