MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) â Recordings of 911 calls after an oceanfront Florida condominium building collapsed in the middle of the night show disbelief, panic and confusion as people tried to comprehend the disaster.
"Oh my God! The whole building collapsed!â one caller said to a dispatcher at the Miami-Dade Police Department, which released the recordings Wednesday from the June 24 collapse of Champlain Towers South. The names of the callers were not released.
âWeâve gotta get out. Hurry up, hurry up. Thereâs a big explosion,â a second caller said. âThereâs a lot of smoke. I canât see anything. We gotta go. I canât see nothing but smoke.â
