This is pretty crazy

I just remembered the Champlain towers building that collapsed in Florida a few years ago killing almost a hundred people. This building is much, much taller.

This link also got me reading about Sampoong store collapse back in the ‘90s killing over 500 people in South Korea. It was the worst building collapse by deaths in peacetime until 9/11.

If there are major concerns about the engineering, whiteblowers should come out now before it’s too late.

I agree, I would not want to live in something like that. Concrete falling off of a building almost 1,400 ft tall? No thanks!
