Proposal for the long rescue/relief section

The rescue/relief section is mighty long and could use some shortening, but it feels wrong to just remove some of the info from the section. My proposal is to create a new page called Timeline of rescue and relief efforts for the Surfside condominium collaspe and move all of this section to this page; then link to this page + provide a short blurb of the most important bits.

Of course, the actual title of this new page would reflect what this page is called.

No, editing the section down would be easy enough, there is a lot of excess verbiage. Start with "According to ..." material. Abductive (reasoning) 08:35, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Water leaks

Can someone check the veracity of this sentence, "..reportedly taken at 1:18 a.m., seven minutes before the north-central portion of the building collapsed.[181][182.."? The issue is that the partial collapse is reported to have occurred at 1:22am (some sources give 1:23am), which is only 4 (or 5) minutes later although I believe I have read also that the video was taken before 1:18am, possibly 1:14am (going from memory here), so there may be some confusion surrounding when the video was taken, when the collapse occurred & the intervening minutes.

I am pretty satified the Tiktok video taken from the hotel pool looking into the basment was filmed 7 minutes before the main collapse. Here is the full timeline as best we know it. Champlain Towers South Timeline of collapse Tadpolefarm (talk) 11:00, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

nearby construction

Should we have a sub-section giving additional (and maybe undue) weight to the theory (blame) of the nearby tower construction if no engineering report has ever suggested it as a cause? What if instead create another section called 'other theories' or 'other possible causes'? Just a suggestion. Thanks ! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 09:37, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

We don't create our own research. We only reports what the sources say. – The Grid (talk) 17:43, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
