3 dead so far and 12 injured, and at least 99 people remained unaccounted for. Not good!

"the building had been scheduled to undergo extensive repair.....

a day late and a dollar short?? JEEZE! In today's paper

Quote:

Meanwhile, owners of units in the collapsed condo building were just days from a deadline to start making steep payments toward more than $9 million in major repairs that had been recommended nearly three years earlier. That cost estimate, from the Morabito Consultants engineering firm in 2018, meant that payments from $80k-one bedroom units to $330k-penthouse, were to start...on July 1 ??!

I stand horribly corrected: a week late and $9 million short...

Saw cctv earlier on the news and the sight astonished me. The latest figures are 4 dead and 159 missing apparently.

Not as bad as it sounds with the number of people who have been accounted for has gone up to 120 - the 159 missing = 39 - the 4 dead = 35 or so actually unaccounted for, but still a terrible accident for sure.
