Had nothing to do with the cause of the collapse.

(12,369 posts)9. Yes but the flowing water isn't maintenance related.
The water you see is moments before the collapse, like 2-3 minutes.
As the building started to move, water pipes BREAK from the motion. Then the building collapsed. This video is evidence that the building didn't suddenly "let go" and over a few minutes, it popped and jolted.

(23,018 posts)10. My comment was not about the water
It was about the entirety of the situation.

(12,369 posts)11. And of course, you're right...
I can't help but feel that the $$ to repair was the main factor. But how do you fix a building with a bad foundation? yikes.
