![]() ![]() ![]() The loudest and final booms in the series came at 1:14 a.m. First, there was a series of intermittent but distinct - and increasingly loud - booms from just before 1 a.m. The witnesses described the collapse sequence as a three-part failure, each with distinct sounds that engineers can use as clues when they try to piece together what happened. The Herald partnered with University of Washington engineering professor Dawn Lehman to build a computer model and explore the following critical questions raised by their experiences: Where exactly could this collapse have started and how did it spread across the pool deck and into the tower to become one of the deadliest collapses in modern history? But a recent Miami Herald investigation based on 10 key eyewitness accounts found the collapse began somewhere on the pool deck seven minutes before the northern wing of the residential tower fell. The grainy security footage released hours after Champlain Towers South crashed to the ground left many assuming the tower went down without warning in mere seconds. Here’s what it showed The team that built the Herald’s engineering models for Champlain Towers Computer model, witnesses reconstruct the tragedy The collapse reconstructed: Ten witnesses describe what they saw and heard ‘Lives would have been saved’: Fire alarm didn’t go off before Surfside tower collapse The Herald built a computer model to explore how Surfside tower fell. The last stand of Champlain Towers South.
