What a mess. 

Sounds like structural failure and not a bomb.

MillCreek:
On the NBC network news, it was reported the building had a history of sinking about 2 millimeters per year back in the 90's while a study was being done. It is not known if the sinking continued after the study finished.

MechAg94:
Looking at image 1 of 19 from that article, you can see some cars on the left rolled up.  Looking closer, there is a big hole under the building on that side.  I think image 4 is a close up of that.  That is all on the other side of the building from the main damage you see. 

French G.:
Possible sinkhole? If a human cause is identified it will likely be years of cursory inspections poorly done and decades of South Florida/ Army corps of engineers mismanagement of aquifers. Waiting for the first politician to say this wouldn’t have happened if Trump and DeSantis had spent money on infrastructure. Because that is coming. Inclusive non binary infrastructure of course.

The cries about it already are going on.

And the 2.3 trillion “spend it on everything except actual infrastructure” infrastructure bill is about to get signed.
