😔This cannot happen again- 98 people were killed (including kids and babies) when a large part of the Champlain Towers South building collapsed in June 2021 in the middle of the night. The evacuation order this week for the Port Royale building came during its 50-year recertification, with the decision to get residents out made after a report from the building's structural engineer showed "excessive deflection" in a concrete beam in the garage, city officials told CNN.
Keep in mind Port Royale is OLDER than Chaplain Towers in Surfside (the building that collapsed). Residents were promised luxury and they were paying for deplorable, poor living conditions for YEARS (look at their reviews).
Residents had reported: poor customer service, flooded parking garage, leakage, broken elevators, trash and these days were given just HOURS to leave their homes. They had to evacuate using trash bags. What a traumatic experience!
Unacceptable and negligent behavior.
