Ummm. Worse than a building collapsing?

Yeah, much.
These early reports tend to be off quite a bit, but I'm betting on dozens dead when the smoke and dust settles.

I'm more curious of "why" it actually happened...

Building was constructed in 1981. It's spend 40 years of hurricanes and salt water exposure.
Plus, this building was likely designed just before we started to get high construction standards.
Might just be it's time, no maintenance, etc.

That is a free fall collapse tho. I really don’t think it just happens, but then I know how shitty construction standards were in Florida during the boom years.

I don't have a good read on it right now. The only thing I saw from the pics is a lot of the rebar appears to be exactly the same length. Like perhaps it wasn't properly tied together or lapped properly. The other thing is, it could be just bad concrete. There is no concrete stuck to a lot of that rebar.

Sinkhole or weak soil - article on Zerohedge has quote by a guy who inspected the building in the 90's and found it was sinking - looks like the sink rank accelerated - you can bet your ass Condo prices will drop - no one trusts building inspectors now.
