Miami Condo Collapse New Security Camera Video, Analysis Updates (Video)

In this 9 March 2024 video, Jeff Ostroff analyzes the latest NIST engineering investigation updates into the Champlain Towers South Condo collapse in Miami, Florida.

This engineering update was presented in a public meeting of The National Construction Safety Team (NCST) Advisory Committee on 7 March 2024. NIST leadership updated the committee on the progress of NCST investigations focused on the Champlain Towers South partial building collapse which occurred in Surfside, Florida, on 21 June 2921.

They also reported the recovery of 2 new security camera videos from the building wreckage. Both tapes will be analyzed  for clues leading to the root cause of this Miami condo collapse.
