Miami building collapse

[robfosters]

Made me feel sick watching it come down. Can you imagine how utterly terrifying those few moments must be as you come hurtling down with all that on top of you.

Amazed anyone survived. Bloody lucky as hell the ones that do. How could it come down like that? Aren’t they checked structurally often?

What I found pretty astounding was how little reaction it seemed to get in the US. Got to about 3rd trending in US twitter yesterday, but nothing today.

Do you think it’s got anything to do with the residents being Latino immigrants? They seem to get a lot less sympathy than others in the US.

Like Grenfell. I sadly noticed a lack of empathy towards them from many brits.

Understatement of the year.



It's not like they get a lot of sympathy either, unfortunately.

The whole building seems to have a high majority immigrant population.

Nah, Malt Vinegar still owns understatement of the year for stating that Christian Erikssen was merely unwell
