As rescuers continue to search through the rubble of the south Florida condo collapse for the fifth day where more than 150 people are still missing, others have flocked to a subreddit called Catastrophic Failure to try and figure out why the building collapsed.

The subreddit, which is normally a depository for footage or images of infrastructure or machines exploding or collapsing, has taken a particular interest in trying to figure out why the building collapsed, like much of the rest of the country. In the last few days, several posts have been made trying to explain what has happened, eventually coalescing around one master thread that is thousands of words long and has been updated 16 times with public documents, reputable news reports, architecture drawings, video footage, and other publicly available information.
