Here we go again: DC Building Collapse

Post by AZGrizFan »

What in the wide, wide world of sports is goin' on here?

A SECOND building has collapsed, this one a 5-story building in DC under construction.

Once is a dot.
Twice is a line.
Three times is a trend............ :suspicious: :suspicious: :suspicious: :suspicious:

It was a multi-split being built (looks like maybe 2 or 3 condo units), and from the pics the collapse happened late during the framing process.

My guess is the general contractor f*cked up really bad. I suppose it's possible, but I can't imagine an architect/engineer screwing up the structural for something this cookie-cutter. It seems like a generic wood-frame home.

edit: here's the place....https://inewhomes.com/the-ralph-complex (11 condos)
