I bet there will be a LOT of building inspections in Florida starting today. That video is just scary. I can't imagine the terror of hearing the building collapse next to you. I assume the building next door has been evacuated.

There are three more buildings nearby that look exactly the same. I may be wrong, but I believe it is a requirement for condo boards to routinely hire engineers for structural inspections. In our case(above), the reports were buried.
Local inspectors would not step in when they were 'making mistakes' during our concrete repairs. Even when hurricane glass was not being installed per mfg specs. I could only point them out to the engineer/inspector that was hired by the association, and because he worked with the contractor on other sites, he did not want go against them.
