Hi
Riven
Not sure how 'shocking' these revelations are. I know it's long been said that there were several defects in 'how' the building was originally constructed. From what I understand, it was the new pool and deck around it that began the collapse. However, it's now a fairly old news item and so I haven't been keeping up with new 'revelations'.
Sadly, it does happen that buildings get built and someone cheated or didn't know what they were doing, and sometimes major collapse is the result. Fortunately, here in the states, it's a rare enough occurrence that we usually, after careful breakdown of what happened, just make changes to building practices and continue on.
People die every day. In fact, even in Jesus' day he made reference to a tower that collapsed and many had died. 50,000 a year die on our highways. Another 50,000 die from the use of firearms. I really don't expect that a hundred people dying in some collapsed building as being anything that we're going to do much about. Beyond just learning from the issue and moving on.
However, most of the problems that have been pointed out in the Champlain towers building errors, are issues that have already been addressed and they just weren't followed in building, and past renovations to, the towers.
God bless,
