Surely this will be over 159 charges of manslaughter?

Structural engineering company that inspected building in 2018
says it 'detailed significant cracks and breaks in the concrete' and
gave estimate for 'extensive and necessary repairs'

From CNN's Rosa Flores in Surfside, Florida, and Hollie Silverman in Atlanta

Morabito Consultants, a structural engineering firm, said in a statement issued Saturday afternoon it completed a report in 2018 that "detailed significant cracks and breaks in the concrete" at Champlain Towers South and provided an estimate of costs to "make the extensive and necessary repairs."

CNN previously reported that the report noted major structural damage.

Champlain Towers South Condominium Association hired the firm again in June 2020 to prepare a building repair plan for the 40-year recertification, according to the statement.

Morabito Consultants provides only engineering consulting services, not repair or restoration contracting, the statement said.

"We are deeply troubled by this building collapse and are working closely with the investigating authorities to understand why the structure failed. As we do so, we also continue to pray for all those impacted by this tragic event," the firm said in the statement.

Who is responsible?

[Redneck]

Yeah I saw that ...good question ....

Sounds like it should have been evacuated then.

Arent there some in Sydney that are deemed a bit dangerous as well?

[Aussie]

Who is responsible?

Everyone who ignored that advise and perhaps even those advisors for failing to make it crystal clear that unless the work was done immediately, the place would likely collapse. As Petticoat has said, the building should have been immediately evacuated, and that should have been in the expert's report.

Yes and aren't the tenants evacuated from them?

It's a case of criminal negligence both by the inspectors and the "body corp".

Yeah maybe only a couple of floors down the bottom I think.

That actually wasnt the one I was thinking of in Sydney, there is another I am sure.

[Redneck]

Yeah this was one Mascot Towers

Property experts call on the NSW Government to do more to ensure residents of strata apartments are better protected if their buildings are affected by major structural damage, with owners of the Mascot Towers likely to foot the bill for costly repairs.

And another

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-12-26/ ... e/10668458

The NSW Government has ordered a "comprehensive investigation" into the structural integrity of Sydney's Opal Tower after a severe crack in the 34-storey apartment building forced a mass evacuation on Christmas Eve.
Key points:

Hundreds of residents are still homeless after Opal Tower was evacuated on Christmas Eve
The tower was given the greenlight under special NSW Government legislation that fast-tracks development approvals
Building experts have questioned how a new building could suffer such significant structural damage

It comes as photos of the damage to the building have emerged, showing the destruction of the plaster inside and the cracking in walls that triggered the evacuation, leaving some residents homeless for Christmas.
