The "archaeological rescue" of collapsed apartments in the United States is shocking

The "archaeological rescue" of collapsed apartments in the United States is shocking. According to Washington post, the remaining buildings of the collapsed apartment in Florida were demolished by blasting on the evening of 4th local time. Many media analysts believe that this accident may eventually become the most serious building collapse accident in American history.

The "archaeological rescue" of collapsed apartments in the United States is shocking. In the early morning of 24th local time, a 12-story apartment building near Miami Beach, Florida, USA suddenly collapsed, killing at least three people and injuring 12 people. At present, 99 people are still missing. Local officials and a research report say that the apartment building has been sinking for decades.

Many media analysts believe that this accident may eventually become the most serious building collapse accident in American history.

The National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) commented that the accident reflected the "deficiency of the existing system" in the United States-"Obviously, every minute of saving lives is so precious, but we can't call resources across cities, which is simply killing people". It took 16 hours from the accident to the arrival of the rescue team.

At the beginning of the search and rescue work, the propaganda reports of the major media in the United States were still there, from their slogan "Bring back everyone under the ruins!" Judging from the slogan, it is really touching. In fact, surprisingly, the inefficiency of search and rescue work is rare in the world. Even netizens in China who are far away from the other side of the ocean can't stand it.

Objectively speaking, after the accident, the Florida government sent a rescue team in time, with a total number of about 370 people, which is called one of the largest rescues in the state's history. However, from the video and related reports at the search and rescue site, these rescuers showed the world an incredible scene-they wore elegant' white gloves' and cleaned the bricks hand in hand, and they handled each brick carefully. They stop every 45 minutes to be examined by the doctor on the spot, and if they feel a little uncomfortable, they quit the search and rescue work.

Netizens ridiculed it as "archaeological rescue."

Many families of missing persons told the media that they were "angry and disappointed" with the current search and rescue progress. The statement given by local officials is mainly "to ensure safety".

20 19 10 A hard rock hotel under construction on the 18 floor in New Orleans, USA collapsed, killing three people and injuring dozens. The captain of the search and rescue team also said sadly in an interview: the search and rescue process is too difficult, and search and rescue personnel need very strong will.

So it took several days to find the survivors, and the process of clearing the ruins lasted for more than a year. It was not until nearly a year later that the body of the last of the three dead was found.

At this rate, I'm afraid the search for this 150 missing person will be very long. ...

With the passage of time, more and more internal problems in the United States have been exposed, which makes people wonder whether this once "lighthouse country" still has the strength and confidence to lead the development of the times. ...

The "archaeological rescue" of collapsed apartments in the United States is shocking. According to the data, Miami, which collapsed, is the warmest city in the United States in winter, and it is also the city most severely hit by hurricanes in the United States. In order to ensure the safety of millions of tourists who come here for vacation every year, the houses here are designed according to the strongest storm resistance.

But this time, the safest house took the lives of people who trusted it.

On the 24th local time, a high-rise apartment building in Miami-Dade County, Florida suddenly partially collapsed. This 12-story residential building has more than 130 units, of which about 55 units collapsed within 10 second.

The incident occurred in the early morning of the local area, and more than 50 households in the high-rise apartment/KLOC-0 of the unit involved were still asleep. Up to now, according to relevant media reports, the accident has caused at least three deaths, 1 1 people were injured, and 99 people are still missing. Rescuers continued to search for survivors in the ruins. The governor of Florida has issued a state of emergency statement, and US President Biden is also paying close attention to the progress.

With the investigation of the incident, more details about the apartment continue to be announced to the outside world.

According to the records, this 12-story building named Champlain Towers South was built in 198 1 year, with more than 100 residential units. The building is located in a seaside community with about 6,000 residents, facing the beach.

According to American media reports, Simon Dovinsky, a professor at the Environmental Research Institute of Florida International University, said in a study in 2020 that apartments showed signs of sinking in the1990s. According to his research, from 1993 to 1999, the sinking speed of apartments was about 2mm per year.

However, there is no evidence that the collapse of the apartment is directly related to the settlement.

Hotels and apartments have become high-risk places for collapse.

"This building collapsed like a pancake. After the collapse, the gap between floors was only one foot (about 0.3 meters), while the height of floors before the collapse was 10 foot (about 3 meters). This is very sad, because it means that we have fewer chances to rescue the trapped people alive. "

This is the description of the scene by the mayor of Safside town in an interview.

And when he said "collapse like a pancake", he meant what happened in this building, which was an architectural "collapse". Although the "straight collapse" building will form a gap to provide temporary living space for the trapped people, compared with the "V-shaped collapse" and "single slope collapse" buildings, the living gap of the "straight collapse" building is smaller.
