Sure looks like something blew up in the center near the top floor.

Lot going on in the red circle. White flashes, yellow-ish flashes.

Must be a world record for that many Clinton accusers to live the in the same building.
That is crazy to see. How could that happen without obvious signs of structual problems beforehand? |

There was work being done on an adjacent building requiring footing work.
All it takes is a 5"-6" move in a wall for the rebar to be compromised. I say a sink hole slowly compromised the structure. If you look at the floor of the parking area, it is sunken in. That does not seem right to me. The flashes previously mentioned were probably electric devices snapping. What a way to go. Being under that roof on the ground is not the place where anyone should be |

In before all of the internet engineers claim that floors don't pancake.
Remember 9/11? Yeah, those same people said those floors didn't pancake either. |

I think it's just lights going out. On the 2nd tower that falls, you can see a light near the upper floors, and before it falls, it goes down 2 levels, like the floor collapses before the walls did.

It was 2:00 AM. That looks like electrical flash or something. The yellowish lights, I would agree may be normal.

You would be surprised. That building was built in 1981, so was 40 years old, right on the ocean. The salt air is extremely corrosive to the rebar in the concrete. One of the condos we were installing hurricane windows and doors into back in 2007 in Naples, had the entire extended lanais collapse on all floors on the ocean side.

Yup, salt air is super hard on metal. When I lived on Hatteras every vehicle more than a few years old was a rolling heap of rust.

I second the salt air. I lived by the beach in San Diego for most of my 20's, and when I left in 79', my Chevy El Camino had already started to rot. I was within 1 mile from the beach.
A realtor also posted a YouTube video showing the condo's interior in June 2020: |

The flashes are most likely arc flashes when electric lines break or disconnect from HVAC and other equipment that’s hard wired. |
