Answer elusive amid probe of fatal collapse By Jill Taylor, Palm Beach Post
On July 22, a private inspector told contractors it was OK to pour cement into forms creating second-story walls and a third-floor deck for building nine at Tranquility townhouse development in Hobe Sound.
Hours later, the building was rubble, with two dead men trapped beneath the wreckage and a third seriously hurt.
Was the inspector wrong? Would a government-paid inspector have detected the problem that allowed the building to collapse?
Federal, county and independently hired investigators are trying to find out.
