A structural engineer had documented the damage three years earlier, estimated $9.1 million in urgent repairs, and warned in writing that failure to act would cause deterioration to expand exponentially. The repairs never started — and right now, across thousands of similar Florida buildings, the same financial logic that killed 98 people is being used to delay the same inspections. This video draws on federal NIST investigation updates, the 2018 Morabito structural field survey, court filings from the Miami-Dade Circuit Court settlement, and the Champlain Towers South Condominium Association's own documented correspondence.
