In Miami, a DEA building had collapsed suddenly and without warning.

00:00:06.966 --> 00:00:09.006

While initial suspicions focused on the weight

00:00:09.667 --> 00:00:12.005

of the 57 cars parked on the roof,

00:00:12.567 --> 00:00:15.167

investigating engineer, John Pistorino,

00:00:15.167 --> 00:00:18.003

uncovered evidence pointing to a different reason.

00:00:18.367 --> 00:00:21.007

[John] When I started to look at what the issues were,

00:00:21.767 --> 00:00:26.167

I immediately recognized that it wasn't because it was overloaded

00:00:26.167 --> 00:00:28.036

or anything of that nature. I found corrosions

00:00:28.036 --> 00:00:28.008

or anything of that nature. I found corrosions

00:00:30.267 --> 00:00:35.006

and cracking concrete that had been hidden behind cosmetic paint.
