At the meeting, Bell showed stills of a video recovered from a motion activated camera that has provided investigators with intriguing information in the final moments as the building collapsed. Investigators made a plea to former residents and members of the public to come forward with any photos or video they may have of the building's collapse. It's a painstaking, labor intensive operation. The team has moved tons of concrete columns, flooring and other rubble to a warehouse where its undergone extensive testing. NIST has already spent more than $20 million on the investigation. The NIST team says it's still investigating 24 other possible failure hypotheses, though it plans to begin narrowing down the field soon. Investigators continue to point to problems with the pool deck as their "leading failure hypothesis," the reason why the 40-year old 12-story building collapsed with little warning in a matter of seconds. National There's New Evidence That The Surfside Condo That Collapsed Had Extensive Corrosion Investigators have previously said they found significant design and construction problems that left the deck weaker than required by building codes. In a progress report, one of the team's leaders, Glenn Bell said the investigation continues to focus on the condo tower's pool deck. It began days after the 2021 collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside. Structural engineers with the National Institute of Standards and Technology say it's one of the most complex investigations ever undertaken. They're focusing on construction flaws on the building's pool deck.
MIAMI - More than two years after 98 people died in the collapse of a Florida condominium tower, federal investigators have released new details about the cause of the collapse. Ninety-eight people died when the building partially collapsed on June 24, 2021. In an aerial view, a cleared lot where the 12-story Champlain Towers South condo building once stood is seen on Jin Surfside, Fla.
