That Florida condo should not have collapsed.

 Writing up here in NH, I have no real idea of what failed.  Could have been a lot of things

1.  Design failure going right back to when the building was constructed.  Not enough stout in the framework.  

2.  Concrete deterioration over the years, water, especially salt water, attacking the concrete of the building frame.  

3.  Failure of building inspectors to insist on repairs, expensive repairs, after building inspection found weakened concrete structural members.

4. Subsidence of the land upon which the condo was built. 

5. Something else??
