Everyone has cameras these days on their phones and people are always taking pics of random things.

Not sure if what she is saying is true but there wouldn't be anything unusual about it .

Do you believe this video was really taken 15 minutes before Champlain Towers South collapsed? [View all] Towlie Jul 2021 OP

I watched the video XanaDUer2 Jul 2021 #1

Yeah, the whole start of it is very poor quality for me - not just the bit from her phone, but NBC muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #22

You can see it in these video links, especially the Miami Herald link at the top. kysrsoze Jul 2021 #26

Really? You can clearly see it coming from the ceiling in the garage FreeState Jul 2021 #27

That link is way clearer than NBC's effort - thank you muriel_volestrangler Jul 2021 #29

Smoking? Haggard Celine Jul 2021 #2

I think she said she was at a neighboring building's pool area exboyfil Jul 2021 #3

You're skeptical that people staying at a resort/condo, during the summer, in the tropics, are awake RockRaven Jul 2021 #4

No, I'm surprised that NBC reported it as fact. Reputable journalists usually avoid such commitments Towlie Jul 2021 #9

Phone videos have verifiable timestamps Sympthsical Jul 2021 #18

+1.. After living in SoFla for years, people are out and about at all hours of the nite...nt mitch96 Jul 2021 #13

You know people stay awake past 9:30 pm, yes? Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2021 #5

My husband goes to bed at 9:00pm, but I'm up until 3 or 4 am. On vacation, after he goes to sleep, liberal_mama Jul 2021 #10

Is staying up that late even legal??? Chainfire Jul 2021 #21

I see people out all the time at 1:30 AM. Nt USALiberal Jul 2021 #12

It seems "very unlikely" ?? Why would that be? People are up at 1AM. SoonerPride Jul 2021 #7

I heard someone (Rachel?) last night show it and specifically say vanlassie Jul 2021 #25

I assumed she took it from her own balcony Hekate Jul 2021 #15

The view in the video is what you'd get from the pool area of the building to the north csziggy Jul 2021 #23

I guess you've never been to Miami Beach alphafemale Jul 2021 #16

I got the impression from one news report that it was taken from another building. Vinca Jul 2021 #19

Have you ever been to Miami? 11 Bravo Jul 2021 #20

I have. It's just weird to be taking a video of water in a garage. Treefrog Jul 2021 #24

They heard a loud sound which drew their attention to it. nt chowder66 Jul 2021 #31

I found it odd also. Treefrog Jul 2021 #28
