Who knows, maybe her going to the fabrengen saved their lives. If she had been sound asleep she may not have awoken to the warning sounds in time. They need to bench gomel

Blessings from a Tzaddik

I learned that just attending a Farbrengen or especially one honoring a tzaddik, one receives their blessings!! I believed that saved the lives of this family!!

From her words seems like it's a sinkhole

Sounds like it was a sinkhole from what she saying

They get another apartment? Insurance pays? What with the personal things ? Etc etc

shocking

from what she describes the whole parking lot caved in, why did security not wake everyone up and get them to leave?

crazy to think that people may have been able to have a warning

Moshiach NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

surprised not in mainstream press

I could not find this story in mainstream press. Very surprised, as it is an amazing story, very interesting, etc. and also as another commentator said, guards should have sounded alarms to evacuate, if this lady could tell, and went back to get her sons to leave, etc.

Not much anyone could have done

It sounds like the security guards may not have even made it out. I’m sure they were perplexed and didn’t know the whole building was about to collapse! Seems like there was maybe 5 minutes max to respond. It’s truly a miracle Sterna Sarah Nir was able to wake up her kids and get out in time. Amazing she just came from a Jewish spiritual event.
