Building Collapses In New York

How in the Hell can a building collapse in the United States of America without warning? Thankfully, no one was killed and only four people being treated for various reasons due to this collapse. This is the type of thing that happens in Third World Countries! There is a video on the internet that shows a building collapsing onto another building across the street. At least people were aware of that calamity before it occurred.

The owner of the building in New York was due to be in front of the Environmental Safety Board for a citation issued for various cracks appearing on the outside walls. I wonder what the owner is going to say to the Board--I wonder what the Board is going to say???

Most of us have seen buildings in some areas of our cities that are old and in need of repair and we've seen some buildings with heavy I-beams bracing suspect walls. How did New York drop the ball on this? Also, there was a building that blew up recently in this city. What is happening to our infrastructure where our habitats are collapsing on top of us. ..... lakotahope
