#SurfsideBuildingCollapse—NEW TONIGHT: your first look of the @NIST investigation underway into what caused a portion of Champlain Towers South to collapse. (THREAD) 📸Courtesy: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
Here you can see some of the portions of the building that have been preserved and tagged for evidence by engineers with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) who investigate building failures. 📸: @NIST
In these pictures @NIST tells us what you are seeing are engineers using ‘nondestructive’ test methods to evaluate the strength and quality of concrete columns. 📸: #NIST
The research laboratory says its collected 200+ elements to include beams, columns, and pieces of concrete slab to “help us determine what we see as the probable collapse mechanism that happened here,” said Christopher Segura, Research Structural Engineer - NIST. 📸: NIST
In a news release NIST also states that it is “in the process of putting together the National Construction Safety Team that will lead the technical investigation”. Background—June 28, 2021 @NIST’s teams of scientists + engineers are modeled after NTSB. local10.com/news/local/202…

#Voices from #SOSCuba: At The Pointe of North Gables Assisted Living Community they came out in walkers and wheelchairs with an energetic burst of Cuban flag-waving while chanting: ‘Patria y Vida’. (THREAD)
They spoke - through smiles - through tears - of the wait….
A lifetime of wait….
A hope that this may just be the moment…that Cuba will finally be free… #SOSCuba
A desire that perhaps they can return home. “That we are going to be free, I am going to be able to return and die there.” - Andres Torres, 77-years-old
…with a peace of spirit knowing they witnessed freedom…#SOSCuba
