In light of the sudden collapse of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside, FL on June 24,many questions have emerged about how a massive 12-story concrete structure could fall to the ground. Federal authorities have not yet concluded the investigation to determine the cause of the collapse. However, many experts and engineers believe prolonged structural damage, delayed repairs and environmental issues for more than four decades could have contributed to the building’s deterioration.
