Whats your take on this? Sure looks grim - the fall alone may have been fatal beside the weight of the rubble. At what point would you stop searching ?

They should treat the search the same as the twin towers, keep going.
Or until the Israelis there call it. (they know what the hell they're doing with this shit)
And - treat it like a crime scene as well. Because someone knew that building was bad.
Someone knew - multiple someones - and someone's ass should fry for this.
 
I was just talking to my wife about this. They said it would’ve cost around 15 million to fix the building. It’s my understanding that the people bought the condo units and own them outright, but they pay fees monthly for services. Now if the owner of the building gets a bill for 15 mil, does he pass it along to the owners of each unit? What if the owners are on a fixed income and can’t pay it? Does the owner of the building claim bankruptcy, condemn the building and force everyone to leave their homes with no compensation? The rest of the structure will surely be condemned, and I highly doubt they’ll let anyone in to retrieve valuables, important documents, etc. I’m also sure there will be many civil lawsuits filed. Hard to believe in today’s day and age, they construct buildings that can’t last 40 years…sounds like some shady construction to me.
 
I've wondered in the past about what happens AFTER a hurricane or any other natural disaster to the building. Living in earthquake land I used to inspect my own home after a "big one". The owner of my business building would also do the same. No one mandated that we did, but we both did. For our own piece of mind I guess.

During hurricane broadcast you often see a building that is destroyed and the others around it are fine. Or the other way around. Who checks those? How many natural disasters can your home take?









On topic, keep looking. No one left behind.
 
My understanding is that the building was owned by the individual condo owners. The HOA knew of the needed repairs but it doesn’t seem the anyone realized how serious the structural problems were. The HOA had meetings about the needed repairs but they didn’t have the permission of the majority of members to spend $15million. That would have meant an assessment of over $100,000 on each unit. FYI the President of the HOA survived.

How long can humans survive without food or water?
This will vary a lot from person to person, but the ‘rule of three’ is generally valid: 3 days without water and 3 weeks without food.

This is a hard decision - horrible conditions with rain and heat and fires and thousands of gallons of water pumped on fire. There soon may be no one there to be left behind.

Dead or alive they deserved to be looked for. Not like this is the ocean being searched.

Agreed. Unfortunately the odds of finding a survivor now is very very slim. If they weren't injured the lack of water would be a huge problem. The best hope was underground spaces like the garage or ground floor elevator
