“The way this building is constructed, it’s a steel frame building, so it would not be a total collapse; it would be more of a localized collapse,” Esposito said at a news conference Tuesday. “But that remains our concern: that it’s moving.”
Asked if that means the building would crumble onto itself, Esposito said, “possibly.”
A localized collapse is where the collapse is localized to within one building, so only that one building will completely collapse, whereas a total collapse would be when that one building completely collapses. This is very different because one sounds worse.
No, it means that a portion but not the entirety of the building is expected to collapse. In this case, they’re implying that the structural members of the steel frame may not collapse, but the non-structural elements are going to.
lol
What’s a localized collapse?
Collapse with good subtitles
I guess part of the building collapses but not the whole thing?
