Surfside Collapse Air Pockets Visualization | Champlain Towers Condo Miami Florida [8K]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лип 2021
- This video follows up on our earlier simulation of the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, Florida ( • Condo Collapse Simulat... ). It demonstrates the formation of air pockets within the collapsed structure allowing to identify potential zones of interest for search and rescue teams to plan escape routes or adopt first aid strategies for the rescue of victims.
The simulation result can be post-processed to visualize cavities within the debris heap. In this analysis empty space is represented by color-coded bubbles allowing the assessment where big enough air pockets for survival may possibly have formed.
Even though the initial distribution of the dummy dolls has been randomized and thus they cannot be used to trace back the fate of individuals, it can be observed that most of them ended up in very dense areas with very little chance of survival.
The authors hope to not distress relatives of victims with the application of dummy dolls in this simulation that have the sole purpose of tracking victims in potential cavities within the debris.

Even if there were possibly air pockets, the damage of how this building collapsed was enough to crush these poor souls so severely on impact. Loss of limbs, blood and time played a huge factor for anyone to even survive that 😔
crush and shred. when concrete breaks it becomes very sharp.
Exactly, and if they somehow got into an air pocket they are racing against time. It takes time to get them out and unfortunately they couldn't get anyone out in time..it's so sad
I know there was one woman that was crying for help for 11 hours and the first responders tried and tried to get her out, but then she stopped talking to them after 11 hours..it's so heartbreaking
My thought exactly...this is tons and tons and tons of concrete...surviving this would be against astronomical odds. Horrific.
human body is nothing when against a concrete slab that is 25 x 25 x 15 or whatever they measure.
@@sharit7970 odds of zero in three billion.
That is an absolutely terrifying graphic. I've done trench and building collapse for my fire district and the county team. Have had the displeasure of doing 2 recoveries in what might be considered 'soft' dirt. The victims were in bad shape in just a few hours. I cannot imagine, and really do not want to, think about the condition of these poor people in the middle of a concrete sandwich like this.
It went from scientific visualization to surrealistic nightmare in no time.
May their souls Rest In Peace ..
My understanding is that there were three people rode the collapse down and were pulled or walked away. The teenage boy, the mom and daughter. The mom of the teenage son was pulled from the debris but dies in hospital.
Just the boy.mom died at 330 am.no one else
Sorry..only the teen boy survived
@@Dani-ICU-RN Angela Gonzalez and her daughter Deven also survived
a fall to the fifth floor when the condo building collapsed..they fell from the 9th floor.
''Gonzalez lived with her parents on the ninth floor of Champlain Towers South. She and her mother, Angela Gonzalez, fell several stories before being rescued on the fifth floor, she told her coach. Her mother was among the survivors pulled from the rubble and is still hospitalized with serious injuries, Morgan told The Associated Press.''
One of their cats also made it out and was found alive wandering the streets a few weeks later.
The cat was found at the site directly over this family’s deceased dad. That is how they found his body, and then they realized that he was probably someone’s pet from the Tower. He was later reunited with the mom and daughter. 🙏
When it comes to concrete building collapses above eight floors, the likelihood of air pockets in the heap are very slim
I would think the best chance for survival would be near the top
@@WhittyPics It feels possible, but once the building reaches a certain momentum, everything just becomes rubble. Even someone standing on the roof has slim chances of survival.
I hope that is true as the "rescue effort" was a farce. They didn't call in a decent sized crew that actually put their hands on the rubble until the 5th day. People start dying from lack of water after 3 days.
@@lockbert99 there’s half a building next to the debris ready to fall on anyone. 🙄 You need to do an engineering assessment before sending hundreds into the scene. There were even fire.
@@mzungu54 Well they should have announced that then rather than claiming there was a desperate, intense, frantic search for survivors. Just be honest and say that you are afraid the remaining building will collapse so you're gonna stand around until that collapses.
But the problem with your narrative is that they were standing on the pile - and doing nothing but looking down while one or two dogs sniffed. And the ocean side of the collapse would have been sufficiently far away from the remaining structure even if that collapsed. And they weren't frantically desperately searching there. And finally, they did have people on the rubble doing some stuff - and before the other building was brought down - I saw video of the Army Corp of Engineers brought in on the fifth day. Well before the standing section was demolished. They may have been skewed towards the ocean side, bit there were units on that end - 12 floors of them.
So then, no human was lucky enough to be in an air pocket. They're all in the red zones.
Maybe unlucky is more appropriate. NO way out and no one could possibly reach them, causing immense fear and trauma. I’d rather leave all the way immediately in that case. Death actually frees them from suffering.
@@bgs03548 Oh I totally agree. This is a worst fear way to have died. There's no way people people didn't suffer until their last breath.
The young man whose grandparents were sleeping together in bed, he received 16 phone calls from the land-line of his grandparents. The linear phone was next to their bed, as he remembered. But when he responded to the calls, it was only static noises. Probably one of the grandparents was still alive and typed the number repeatedly. It lasted 3 days, then the number did not call anymore. The linear phone likely was broken and could not record the voices, but possibly the caller could hear their grandchild.
When I think about this story, I feel really strange. It's so scary, because I think at least one of them was alive. Linear phones tend to continue working as long as the phone line is not broken, because it transport its own current.
It's so much probable it's scary...
@@kaorushiroe8414 do you have a reliable source for this? I don't see how its possible that any line could survive without being cut.
@@laurie7689 yes! Redial button is a great possibility. You're absolutely right ✅ But someone had to hang up before redialling 15 other times, though.
Just every calamity that could happen after the building imploded on itself happened. The fires, the rain....these poor folks never had a chance.
I just hope the victims were dead instantly before they hit the heap. How horrific.
May all the victims rest in peace...And their families be comforted during this time... I can't even fathom surviving this or even being part of the search team... I lose my breathe every time I watch videos or think of that horrible night...
Ur vids are always interesting kostack I love it
Please read the video description before commenting. The take away is that there is technology now available to consider the human costs of not maintaining our structures and our infrastructure. This shouldn't have happened. This doesn't have to happen again.
Amen, Peter. Amen.
Oh damn took me a wile before i realized what yhose yellow things were.. So sad to see that some litteraly lost limbs. Rip to all who passed
The doll locations were random. The positions would be accurate for this type of collapse (I noticed at least one with their legs bent over them--similar to injuries sustained at the Kansas City skywalk collapse), but I suspect many were also crushed :(
I can tell you first hand, from working in a morgue- that collapses like these, more often than not- result in heavy dismemberment. Very few if any- bodies will be found in tact as a whole.
@@Supra_Na96 delicious
@@Supra_Na96 Similar to an Airplane crash!?
@@cryogeneric i think so to
The term "air pockets" is misleading. The people didn't die from lack of oxygen (the pile of rubble was not air tight), They died from being crushed.
I have always wondered which unit that boy was pulled from that survived the collapse when he was pulled out after it collapsed. My condolences sent as his mother never made it. And condolences to many others that never made it out may each one rest in Paradise
The boy and his mother lived in unit 1002

What tool do you use to visualize the cavities? Truly amazing!
I believe the families were communicated too with honesty. But you have to gently lead people through this very emotional process. You can't anger people by saying we are going straight into recovery mode. They need to come to their own acceptance of the reality of the situation, before they are going to tell you, you can stop searching for survivors. And all credit to the officials leading this, they did give the families time to come to terms with the situation. Imagine if they had gone straight into recovery mode and had the site cleared sooner, that would have been unbearable for the families. My heart goes out to everyone involved.
I completely agree. This type of trauma has to be dealt with very delicately. It’s horror for them. I do think they could’ve called it a bit earlier, but I don’t think they wanted to do that to the loved ones, and it’s the right thing to do. Although many of them held on to hope, they knew what they were dealing with. The mind kicks in to protect itself at that point. Bless them all.
The thought of the fact that children lost their lives like this is devastating.
Ya, the adults lives are irrelevant... (sarcasm response to the post).
@@fkthedemlibscum7026 Yep, today children are half goddess and adults are.....something else.....
@@fkthedemlibscum7026 🙄😒 Yeah because that's what I meant.
*Sarcasm.*
@@fkthedemlibscum7026 if u had kids you’d realize you are correct
I understand what you are saying though because a child would think being in their home in a building is their innocent safe spot. I get it. Obviously this person acknowledges the adults that were lost as well.
Nice video.
The guy from building integrity said that based on the condition of the air conditioners on the rooftop their best chance of survival would have been to go to the roof. Isn’t that insane??
Imagine going through that debris falling down. Stupid comment. Roof my A#%.
@@NachoKitty Yup that is what I have always said. Building collapse has been a fear of mine since I was a very small child. I had to spend time at a friends grandmothers apartment in a high rise in Long Beach CA one summer, and if I was not in bed sleeping I was up on the roof for that very reason. I was sure it would collapse and I wanted to ride it down for any change of survival.
@@NachoKitty You're right, he was on the 10th floor.
Ya of your on the roof then there is nothing above to fall on you, as long as you don't get pinched in-between the debris then you could surf it down. There was one kid the got pulled out the first night. I wonder if he lived on one of the upper floors. I imagine they would have had the best chance. That kid got so lucky. But on the other hand he lost his family so I'm sure lucky just isn't the right word. It's such ashame. I know people die every day and it's just a part of life but no one deserves to go like this. That was there home, there safe space. I just can't imagine no matter how much I try
@@NachoKitty was from 10th fl
I love the time you took to narrate.
Amazing animation on the tragedy.
This tragedy has really encouraged me to learn more about structure forensics and the like. These simulations are so detailed. Do you mind if I ask how the location of causalities is calculated and other reference materials on the procedures used in the physical forensic work? Thank you so much for your hard work.
The victim dummies were initially randomly distributed over all floors, and from there the simulation took over. If you want to learn more about our software here is our blog: inachuslaurea.wordpress.com
How do you even know that there were air pockets ? I fell that’s a pretty broad guess
There wasn't much air because the structure pancaked. So very sad. Someone needs to be held responsible. And I don't want to hear them say that it was an act of God.
I agree. This entire thing could’ve been prevented if the contractors didn’t neglect the building
No one person is responsible the condo association is made up of volunteer owners of the condos that they own.
@@jayblue5310 the owners aren’t the ones who have to do the engineering and maintenance on the building. That’s the job of the contractors and the professional engineers. Not the people who live there. Furthermore they are supposed to do regular safety inspections which they didn’t do, and when they saw damage they ignored it instead of fixing it. The people who live there are not responsible for fixing the building or doing inspections. They just live there. That’s not their job.
No, I don't blame the condo board. I'm blaming the first engineer, the second engineer, and Morabito for saying that the repairs were minor.
@@shAnn0n1 exactly what I’m saying!!! Thank you. I’m glad someone understands what I mean
Interesting visualization...really helps to grasp what happened.
According to this idea the bodies weren't even where They began their search.
Yea, because they only had one way to try and get in. It took them a while to reach where the bodies were-the bedrooms. There is an article with recovery dates for e dry person and they didn’t start recovering any bodies save for a couple for several days, and most of them were t recovered until after July 4when they demolished the part left standing. They were stuck in areas far away from most of the bodies. Once they got to July 8-12, the count starts going up significantly and they finally started recovering them steadily.
There was a woman in an air pocket in the garage who they communicated with early on. But they never got her out in time. Stopped hearing her after 12 hrs. Likely killed when there was a fire and they flooded the garage to put it out. Im sure there were others. Remember that until the rest of the building was brought down hardly anyone was found. They werent even looking where they were found until several days later when they were dead. Also people who fled the building heard cries for help, but help came too late. Pancake effect made it unlikely for survival
I thought they said they thought they heard banging or some noise in garage but not a voice. They even used a sound thing to try to hear in the rubble better
How do excavators and cranes etc. remove hunks of debris getting to the trapped people and get it lifted cleanly. There are no lift points on huge broken slabs.
wow you can tell who was sitting up in their bed, asleep or walking around.
That is heartbreaking. Each one has the pose of how they were found even the ones who were ripped apart.
Like the description says, the "people" in the animation are dummy dolls and not actual representations of the victims.
Pretty eerie when seeing an animation as opposed to hearing people died in a building collapse. That was terrible. :(
This is very interesting and more tragic with those CGI bodies.
Oh my gosh! Shocking 😢
How do you know where to put the air pockets?
They might have been using sonar or ground penetrating radar
He has a program to find the air pockets in the simulation.
God bless them, rest in peace.
Really helps you understand why the survivors were only found in the first hours after collapse….
How do you know there was air pockets and pockets for their body
It looks like a lot of people almost got to the bottom doors 🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is so sad😞😔😭
great video kind of creepy
This is EXACTLY what causes me to have ‘Panic Attacks’. Just having trouble breathing and being jammed in under something, not being able to move an arm or leg or being badly injured and in pain, that really gets my heart racing.
I too pray, that these souls died instantly or soon thereafter. This is DEFINITELY my WORST nightmare𖦹
SAME! When I’m really stressed or dealing with difficulties in my life, I have recurring nightmares of being in a falling building. It’s so friggin real, and I wake up hyperventilating. I get panicky seeing the collapse video. I just keep thinking, oh my god, I’m watching people get mangled and die before my eyes. I can’t detach and just see it as a collapsing building. I envision the people going down. Ugh. My god. 😥
You are an absolute genius.
No not with 12 pancakes of cement-- why the building remnant were never photographed to show that. How much does diet and rock weigh psf?
Interesting...but I don't think you accounted for the fact that the concrete pulverized into fine dust/sand, and that would have been choking.
God bless the grieving families. Question. Did families list missing pets? Are the body pictures accurate according to documents? Are there pets in the documented losses?
Beautiful
This is based off a simulation of the collapse in which the people were placed randomly throughout the building and thus their positions in this video are more approximate than specific.
Those buildings lacked of horizontal reinforced beams and reinforced vertical columns. The Pool Deck didn't have beams and columns reinforced. All the buildings lacked of horizontal beams and columns according to the Construction Code. It was a fraud to the buyers and the city of Surfside should rechecked all their Codes and cómplices that approved the Construction of the Buildings.
Please link this 1979 building code which dictate beams!
It was 3000 psi concrete.
@@Denise-Ann I read it was supposed to be 3000 but engineers taking down the debris said not even close to that.
@@mysterywriter888 That’s unfashionable the building even stood as long as it did. By comparison, Trump Tower in NY used 19.5psi. Keep in mind we get hurricanes in South Florida and concrete should be pretty strong.
@@mysterywriter888 A building not far from me is 19,500psi concrete and with us getting hurricanes, we may need stronger concrete than many other places. Doesn’t surprise me it’s’ less than the specs call for, these inspectors are paid off to approve unsafe structures and keep certifying unsafe structures. I hope every one of them gets outed like Prieto.
Condo turned graveyard
There were no air pockets because of the lack of concrete beams on each column so de slabs went through the columns and each slab fell on the other one like a sandwich!
This is a great visualization, but absolutely impossible that it is accurate. It would take years of research in order to make an accurate representation of where the people ended up after the collapse and in what condition
That's not what they are trying to do with this. It's to show why so few people survived due to lack and location of air pockets in the rubble.
@@Floridafanatic28 doesn't bother me, but same thing goes for air pockets and voids. There's no way for them to know at this stage how many there were and where they were located
At least this means a lot of them died pretty damn quick. I.E. A concreet sandwich that dense would kill most people in moments, if not immediately. First the interior view, and then the outside blue-terraces and peel-away make that clear. Scant comfort for those who where not swiftly killed though. From what I could find, only three people emerged from the rubble still breathing.
I'm not sure how I feel about this simulation. Forensically, I find it interesting. It looks like something that took a lot of time, effort and computational power to create, and I can appreciate that. Not sure the severed limbs depictions were necessary though. Thank you, I'm sure it was created with respect and good intentions. Maybe it will help the investigation. May the souls of those that perished rest in God's everloving peace, and may their loved ones feel His comfort in due time.
Looks like some people are cut in half and in pieces... perhaps that indicates how they were found.
I think I may agree. I can’t imagine how family and friends of the people that perished would feel seeing the simulated dismembered bodies 😢
If you watch previous collaps simulation video. It is the way the physics engine rendered the animated figures during the building collapse. It wasn't something this person did intentionally.
It's terrible how back then engineers didn't think of redundancy, reinforcement or sharing the loads amongst many columns, as oppose to just one
All I have to say rest in peace God be with all of you
That's the pancake affect
Nice sim and great presentation but your rigid model is not going to be useful for simulating the resting state of the rubble pile. It is a nice model for "simply" simulating the collapse though.
Props.
LOL
How about the blame being on the original engineers whom interconnected the pool deck with the building!
Truly the dumbest idea ever. Despite obvious gross neglect, the building wouldn’t likely have fallen, I don’t think, if not for being attached to that friggin deck like that! Then keep adding weight, bricks, poor waterproofing, rain, sand. Jeez. Dumb!
Are those the correct positions of the bodies? Or just the approximated result of a computer simulation?
Don't you read?
@@robertporter2447 apparently not this time 🤷♂️. Sometimes i just click videos to watch momentarily and forget that they have descriptions. Oh well 😥

@@psychedeliccarrie5921 Sadly you are very very wrong. Christ is the only way...the narrow path...and many will not find it but rather will follow the wide road to Hell. The Bible is very clear. Saying that God only cares about "doing good" and not about His plan of salvation is horribly wrong. No, we don't have to have an open mind...that means we get to invent a god of our choosing, rather than the true God of Creation. Instead we need to heed His Word and follow it. He sent His only Son for our salvation...and it is up to us to accept that gift or reject it. That is the only truth....everything else is a false gospel message and is of the world, and not of God.
Do one where some of the bodies squirm and try to not be the opposite of not alive
This simulations are awesome until people are shown in their possible locations. What's the point of doing something graphically painful and terrifying like showing bodies casualties??? The music also very dramatic in the first video. I repeat, graphic job is amazing if you want to study the possible causes of the collapse up to there it was enough, the rest I think is left over.
Nice video in particularly for those who lost their loved ones. To see limbs, heads, bodies all over the place. Are you......
No way of knowing this for sure. This is interesting to watch, but serves no factual or beneficial purposes.

that visualization is 100% wrong.
You need to point out why you feel that way.
Where is your correct version?
Not sure why put this out there at this point after the debris has been cleared. It just seems like self promotion.
*(Luke 13:4-5)*
"...those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem? *No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”*
These are Jesus words. He is not saying that all those who don't repent will have a building fall on them, He is saying that unless you repent, your eternal end will be just as tragic and devastating as their temporal end (eternal torment/the Wrath of God against you forever).
The Wrath of God will be worse than a building falling on you. *But God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten Son that any and all who believe (trust) in Him shall have eternal life...* *John 3:16*
It is not God's desire that any should perish, but that all should come to a knowledge of repentance... 2 Peter 3:9
Jesus paid for your sins on the Cross. That debt was freely paid for all who repent (forsake) their sins and turn to Him as there Lord.
Today is the day of salvation! Why should we perish. Repent and Live!!!
I hope no Republicans were in the building
People like you are so weird. Like political affiliations have nothing to do with who should of and shouldn’t have DIED in this tragedy. Eww. Seek help.
