  • Imagine waking up in that bunk bed in the middle of the night. Absolutely petrifying.
  • @ItsMeJeki
    did she said, "it can only happen in third world countries"? this accident can happen in any country.
  • @CatBrash
    not even a second to think, its terrible but that woman saying that this only happens in 3rd world countries is kinda ignorant to say
  • It’s not the first time this has happened in Florida.. the ground gave way under an apartment complex near Orlando a few years ago..south Florida just got a lot of rain in the last week or so.
  • @hariw834
    This is tragic. I hope they are able to find all survivors and rescue them.
  • My heart aches for all the babies children & adults whom are possibly deceased 😢.Lord I pray for these families 🙏🏾
  • @Re-bl5sr
    Condolences to the family's affected; this is absolutely terrible.
  • How could anyone live comfortably in any of the surrounding buildings after this?
  • @darcylee9826
    Wow , that’s gonna be a HUGE lawsuit 😳 and R.I.P all those who are lost 😞
  • @cattigereyes1
    Some serious questions need to be asked about other buildings near the area where the same construction process was used. Ones near the same age need to be inspected.

    "This is what happens in third world countries," she said - after another building collapsed in America.
  • The IRONY. I've been to those so-called 'third-world countries, and rarely do they use manufactured wood as structures of their homes. In fact, most of their houses are either built in mud-concrete, clay, stones or concrete which would require a lot of manual work, and high-skilled labor. In case of a collapse, it's usually because of a high magnitude earthquakes or acts of nature.

    Heavenly Father full of grace please protect all the First Responders & the people that are hoping to be found in the rubble. May God show grace and mercy to all who leave comments knowing that people have loved ones in that building it's in your son's Heavenly name I pray amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    The 40 year old collapsed condo was about to begin corrosion repairs.The 12-story condo building that partially collapsed near Miami early Thursday morning was about to undergo extensive repairs for rusted steel and damaged concrete, an attorney involved in the project said Thursday.-- New York Times
  • This is absolutely terrifying and traumatizing. Seeing that building collapse brought back memories of the WTC falling. Prayers and hope to the people involved. May God be with you all.
  • My brother was a building inspector theres allot of building's he wouldent sign off on because they were built shady.. eny thing over 10 years old should be re inspected and. This includes hospitals he wouldent sign off on one hospital because they added 4 more stories and the building cannot support that kind of weight . And it will collapse just like this one but worse
  • @linedanzer4302
    This is what happens when a building is thrown together with little thought about safety and much thought about profits.
  • @Keesha
    This brought back terrible memories of the WTC … praying for the people affected.
  • @shohj6600
    This is just terrifying. I hope the best for everyone.
  • @NilsMueller
    "buildings don't fall down in America" - yes they do, open your eyes
