Condo Collapse in Surfside Triggers Fear in Coastal Cities
“As the world spotlight shines on Surfside’s condo collapse,” the Sun Sentinel published a story on how, “other coastal cities in South Florida are asking the question: Could it happen here?” President Miroslav “Misha” Mladenović is featured in the article addressing how “South Florida is a challenging environment not friendly to building materials in general.”
“We have water to the east — the ocean,” he said. “We have water to the west — the Everglades. We have underground water — the aquifer; and we have water above — hurricanes.”
