That's not the case, though. This isn't an "I told you so," like the 2022 Pittsburgh bridge collapse. (https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/NR20240221.as...)

The study ended 7 days before the collapse, and it only concluded that an on-site inspection is needed:

> Its findings revealed there were significant indicators present prior to the incident to suggest inspection/consultation with on-site engineers would have been necessary.

This is a random company selling everything from blockchain to big data analysis performing a retrospective analysis of satellite data over a certain period prior to the collapse. In other words it’s a puff piece to promote the capabilities of what sounds like a very dubious firm, not a report of a predictive study.
