Shocking Causes Of Fatal Jersey Shore Condo Collapse

The Spinnaker Tower Condominium in the Jersey Shore town of Sea Isle City suffered a partial collapse of an 8th-floor cantilever patio concrete slab, which sheared off and dropped down to the 7th-floor patio slab below it. Jeff Ostroff investigates videos and photos from the scene to analyze what might be the significant root causes of this engineering disaster, which killed one construction worker and injured 2 others. Patio collapses are fairly common.
