Federal investigators continue making strides in finding the cause of the catastrophic collapse of the Champlain Towers South Condominium in Surfside, Florida three years ago. A focal point has emerged in the probe, with the team zeroing in on potential construction flaws, specifically in the building’s pool deck area, as a possible cause for the tragic incident.

Sifting through remains and debris, rescue personnel, and investigators have been painstakingly trying to piece together reasons for the collapse since June 25, 2021. In the process, they have uncovered a series of discrepancies and structural issues that have started to paint a chilling picture. In particular, the building’s pool deck has been brought into focus as a probable structural weak point which may have contributed to the disaster.

The potential involvement of the pool deck in causing the tragedy indicates considerable structural defects, raising serious questions about the integrity of the construction process. These findings are paramount to understanding the disaster, and will hopefully guide future condo constructions, to prevent such devastating incidents from recurring.

The investigation carries on and stays centered on these findings, adding crucial knowledge to the tragedy that struck the Surfside condo, with federal teams putting in vast effort to determine the final cause.
