TBBills Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) People are posting pictures and videos of the places they live. Takes a tragedy to make change... And even then the change doesn't hold forever once complacency sets in again. Over 120+ dead, imagine getting a strong hurricane this year.

RaoulDuke79 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 What about the people who had to evacuate from the other side of the building? Do they ever have an opportunity to recover their belongings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone is worried about their couch or 60" tv. Looks like the rest of the collapsed building is coming down tomorrow: https://www.baynews9.com/fl/tampa/ap-top-news/2021/07/03/another-building-evacuated-search-goes-on-at-collapse-site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like pets may be going down too. I read one had a dog in a cage on the 9th floor. That's gotta be tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our infrastructure is incredibly outdated and the more regulations that are cast aside for the sake of profit, the more frequently this will happen Thanks Captain Hindsight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.. If the building is teetering, that's bad. A zillion places for a scared animal to hide, especially if it got out of their area and damaged spaces. Finding a cat would be a nightmare. Ours gets lost in all the ***** we have in basement! /smdh... Edited July 4, 2021 by ExiledInIllinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
