Agree. The images of the cars (see post 6) piled on top of each other have bothered me since the beginning. Pure conjecture at this point, but I find the the dialog in post 148 about the pool failing, combined with engineers report, and car images lead me to think that the pool failure, perhaps water pressure, or floating cars banging into posts, caused the already weakened posts to fail.

Same when our building was redone. All of the balconies were coated with a thick membrane.
