This Surfside, Miami Condo Collapse thing

[Calypso Jones]

Just thinking here.  Aside from the common and obvious bribery, palm greasing, corruption in the building and maintaining this structure; the, for lack of a better term IMPLOSION of the building, there is just something NOT right about this whole thing.   The lack of news on the matter, the failure of the media to make this recovery job a 24/7 kinda thing which you KNOW they typically do...the lack of information on the victims, bare coverage of those that are pulled from the rubble, dead of course.

The whole thing is just not right.

An astute observation. I don't watch TV so I wouldn't know, but you're Right, the over all media is quiet about this.

It was not a black or LGBT hangout so it is not news.  Most of those who were killed or are still listed as missing are those that the media could care less about.

People who set their alarm clocks and go to work everyday?

Early reports had a Trump family member living in Surfside. Put it down as nonsense news.

Then came across this to day.

It may be the reason.

nah, they then would have tried to use it to attack Trump somehow.

I really think its not news because they are so programmed now as regards what to show faux outrage on that anything that doesn't they automatically ignore.

Searching on   concrete salt water   leads to numerous articles about
how salt water damages concrete.  (It dissolves the lime in the cement.)

The ancient Romans knew that mixing volcanic ash to the concrete
would make it immune to this effect.
They probably didn't know why it worked, but that it does work.

As the salt water dissolves the lime, it also reacts with the ash
to grow crystals of another substance, which replaces the lime.


Surfside Florida is in a location where the ground water is salt water.
And the buildings' foundations are all below sea level.
Plus, pumping water out of the basement (as they did for forty years)
sucks sea water into the ground water in that location.

The "mainstream" media are all repeating their mantra about the sea level rising,
which is not at all true.
The building's foundation always was in salt water.
