Water leaks

edit

Can someone check the veracity of this sentence, "..reportedly taken at 1:18 a.m., seven minutes before the north-central portion of the building collapsed.[181][182.."? The issue is that the partial collapse is reported to have occurred at 1:22am (some sources give 1:23am), which is only 4 (or 5) minutes later although I believe I have read also that the video was taken before 1:18am, possibly 1:14am (going from memory here), so there may be some confusion surrounding when the video was taken, when the collapse occurred & the intervening minutes.

I am pretty satified the Tiktok video taken from the hotel pool looking into the basment was filmed 7 minutes before the main collapse. Here is the full timeline as best we know it. Champlain Towers South Timeline of collapse Tadpolefarm (talk) 11:00, 10 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

nearby construction

edit

Should we have a sub-section giving additional (and maybe undue) weight to the theory (blame) of the nearby tower construction if no engineering report has ever suggested it as a cause? What if instead create another section called 'other theories' or 'other possible causes'? Just a suggestion. Thanks ! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 09:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

We don't create our own research. We only reports what the sources say. – The Grid (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

"40 year structural inspections" merger

edit

I see 40 year structural inspections went through AfD with a result to merge. I don't see anything that can really be merged that hasn't been stated. I think maybe the specific codified language could be added but these look like notes from the editor. If I knew about the AfD at the time, I would have gone for userify the page as they are solid notes that could have been provided to this talk page for a discussion. Thoughts? @SSR07 @Oaktree bThe Grid (talk) 16:13, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello! Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. Thanks for helping sort this out. Could you explain what "userify the page" means? I don't know what all the jargon means yet, sorry! SSR07 (talk) 21:11, 29 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
Userify simply means the content on an article could be moved to a user's page for their own notes. One of my own examples, is here. The content is more of notes, not in a full prose format, and not ready to be made into an article. The content 40 year structural inspections is similar as they are listing notes about the process but not in prose format. Surfside_condominium_collapse#Legislation kind of covers what needs to be addressed already. – The Grid (talk) 16:13, 30 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
