Right after this happened a freeper (can’t recall who) posted about a friend. The friend was an engineer who owned a condo in the building. The engineer had sold his condo 1 month before the collapse because he felt the building was unsafe. The engineer claimed the columns that were surround by the pool deck planters were compromised by the planters and were not safe.

As I looked at the videos I saw the area being discussed. For those interested look at the columns surrounded by the planters. The columns are sheared cleanly off at the grade level of the planting beds. What is odd about this is there is no protruding rebar, literally none the columns are sheared clean. This leads me to the conclusion many here are correct. The salt environment acted upon the rebar in the columns and was allowed to do so because that concrete was compromised by the soil in the planters.

Update...

Miami tower victims 'killed by their leaky swimming pool': Engineer warned in 2018 about 'structural damage' to pool area as search for 159 missing is hampered by fire that continues to burn in rubble

The pool is certainly more believable than global warming.

I seem to recall the seller is obligated to inform potential buyers of known defects.
