First floor has concrete that buckled. Oh fuck. I can literally see that high rise condo from my balcony and apartment windows.

Please dont collapse.

At least they caught it ahead of time unlike what happened in Miami.

Okay... the video is useless.
I'll wait for Josh Porter to get on this. Should be a good one: https://www.youtube.com/c/BuildingIntegrity

At least everyone's out of the building this time.

ya at least people can get evacuated ahead of time if it does indeed collapse. But buckling concrete on the first floor is a VERY bad sign.

if that building collapses there will be a ton of destruction in the area.

Eventually, we'll collectively realize that Flat Plate is terrible construction.
There's a pretty cheap way (stud rails) to make it not suck so much, but it's a recent development long after the bulk of those building have already been built.

If you've got twenty minutes to spare, Josh Porter's latest video explains it pretty well:
