IanCA I appreciate you providing the link to Kai's video. I must say it is one of the easier ones to watch, and does contain logical conclusions from the evidence pictured.
I also stumbled upon the one where he gives you some perspective on how connected Michael and Cassie Stratton are to the White House, and casued me to duck duck go Michael Stratton. I will provide a quote from Michael Stratton's web site, and a link to it.
I leave it to the reader to come to their own conclusions as to whether this person's connections had anything to do with the large settlement for the individuals that lost their lives in the collapse. 'Quit quo pro' as they say.
Kai's message also could explain why NIST jumped in and took over the investigation, and that a Billion Dollar Settlement is reached on an unproved theory. I will also include an article from ENRsoutheast.
First a quote form Michael Statton's Web Site, and link:
"Distinguished Democratic strategist. Decades of on-the-ground campaign experience across the United States. Trusted confidant of business leaders and policymakers."
"Mike Stratton draws on his 50 years of frontline experience in Democratic politics managing campaigns and serving in senior government positions to shepherd clients through multijurisdictional policy issues. He served in top positions for 10 presidential campaigns, worked in the U.S. Senate, and served as an appointee in the Carter and Clinton administrations. Now, he offers clients keen insight into the interplay between federal, state and local policy arenas and advocates before all levels of government to advance industry objectives.
Trusted by mayors, attorneys general, governors and federal policymakers, Mike understands how to activate grassroots and grasstops organizations to achieve his clients’ business goals. He provides critical deal-specific consultations for domestic and international clients, negotiating sophisticated business deals, peace initiatives and foreign policy issues.
A leading voice in the hierarchy of the Democratic Party, Mike develops and executes strategies to achieve electoral victories for Democrats across the country. He has served as a member of the Democratic National Committee, and most recently, was reappointed by the Biden campaign.
A native of Durango, Colorado, Mike played an integral role in the successful campaigns of Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) and former Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-CO). He is active in state politics across the country and is considered the dean of advisors to the Democratic Governors Association and the Democratic Attorneys General Association."
Next the ENRsoutheast article:
Edit: I think IanCA has identified that roots may have played a role in the separated planter corner, and perhaps that area had been trouble before and roots were cut back and it skimmed over and finally let go. I did see in some of Kai's video's where it clearly looks like the planters on both sides of the parking deck/patio gate were already sagging.
I would also like to note Kai talks about torque on two way slab created by columns that are offset and NOT aligned, and point out that the worst area in between K13.1(under East Planter wall) and K15 (parking deck west side of planters).
He cites ACI recommendations on column offsets and says design is not complaint even in 1979. I think SFC has a copy of those docuuments and could possible comment on that or provide confirmation of Kai's statements about allowable offset angles between columns on 2 way slab.
Edit: Link to some available Kai video's
