[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m all for blaming people but this sounds like a weird and horrible tragedy. Not everything is caused by negligence. [/quote]

This exact thing happened last year. [/quote]

I think the city was supposed to be fixing the drainage in this area but it wasn't complete yet (according to councilmember Christina Henderson's Twitter last night). Was the business just supposed to relocate in less than a year. Seems this is more on the city than the business. [/quote]

No. They were supposed to take adequate precautions given the known hazard. [/quote]

+1 Like install sump pumps?[/quote]

There is no sump pump that could handle 6 ft of water suddenly bursting through the wall and drain it down in less than the 1 minute it could take for a tragedy like drowning to occur.

There is absolutely nothing the staff could have done to prepare. There was no indication the wall would give way.
