It probably had the same materials. It probably had the same plans, and you know, people are asking me, is the building safe . And i cant tell them it is safe. I cant tell them that. Reporter the families affected by this, fred, are not only wondering about the conditions of their loved ones but also whether this could have been prevented, and were getting new details today that shine a light on the condition of the building before it collapsed. Actually, dating back to 2018. A Structural Field survey that was conducted of the condo warned of cracking in some of the columns that were in the pool deck. An engineer arguing that Major Repairs were going to be needed, repairs that were apparently going to begin before the unthinkable happened as we take a look at these images of rescue crews literally standing atop 11 stories of what used to be homes. We have a full team on the ground right now as the search for survivors continues. Lets start with cnns randi kaye. Shes not far from where the rescue efforts are unfolding right now. Randi, bring us up to speed. What is the latest on this effort . Reporter hello there, boris. Yeah, still theyre having real problems with this very deep burning fire that the mayor referred to earlier. It is spreading laterally, and theyre having a very hard time reaching it and putting it out. Theyre trying to isolate it because it is hampering the Search And Rescue efforts. Theyre using infrared technology. Theyre using foam. Theyre using water. Just trying to get that fire out so they can continue with trying to find survivors in that rubble. Smoke, certainly an issue. It was an issue out here all day yesterday for those of us on the ground, and it continues to be an issue today. They are still trying to build this trench. Theyre working on a trench and working through a trench using heavy equipment to get their teams in there and try and isolate themselves away from that fire and also still work to put the fire out but continue those Search And Rescue efforts. No more victims have been found. Still, four dead, 159 still Unaccounted For. You mentioned that 2018 Structural Field survey report. Thats getting a lot of attention because it cited this structural damage to a Concrete Slab below the pool deck and cracking and crumbling in the Parking Garage. We know that those rescue teams were spending quite a bit of time in the Parking Garage searching for survivors. There was abundant cracking of various degrees throughout the area, in the Parking Garage, the beams and the walls. Sizable cracks in the entrance drive ramp as well, and the report noted that although the damage is minor, it says most of the concrete deterioration needs to be repaired in a timely fashion. Many of the previous garage concrete repairs, the report said, were failing, and finally, waterproofing below the pool deck was failing as well, and that was causing major structural damage. So, that is certainly getting a lot of attention. The surfside mayor today saying that its unclear what steps the building was taking to address those cracks. But you mentioned also this sister building. It really is the mirror image of the tower that collapsed. Its the north tower that were talking about. It was by the same developer as the mayor said. It was the same materials. It was built around the same time. So he is calling for this evacuation of that so they can do a full structural investigation, if you will, of that building and make sure that its sound, since it is certainly a concern, boris. Reporter an incredibly frustrating time, not just for rescue crews trying to find the source of that fire, but also for the families that have been waiting for answers. Randi kaye, thank you so much for that update. Lets focus on the stories of those who are looking for loved ones right now. Ryan young is over at the Community Center here in surfside where families have been eagerly anticipating any word on what might have happened to their loved ones. They are hoping for a miracle, for any sign of life. Ryan, what are you hearing from families that youre speaking to . Reporter yeah, boris, you know, people are hoping for that miracle, but you can see the ramifications from this disaster just down the street. It sort of smolders all the way out as people have long looks on their faces as they look for any sort of information. They stop and ask you, has anything changed . Theyre frustrated with the fact the numbers havent changed in the last few hours, but im going to tell you, this community is not only in shock at these centers where theyre looking for any signs of hope. Its around these centers as well, because this is a community that obviously can look down the street and see the plume of smoke. They even gave us a warning last night about the fact that some of those plumes of smoke that are blowing through this community may be toxic, so you can understand why people are upset. We happened upon a Church Service last night that had people very emotional in terms of what was going on in this community. Take a listen to some of the sounds last night as the pastor was trying to address some of the pain in this community. It is well, It Is Well With My Soul Reporter boris, as you know, this is probably less than a half a mile from that site. I was talking to people who were quite emotional, some of them did not want to go on camera because they were worried about their loved ones. In fact, they were there looking for some sort of solace, some sort of peace. They want more information from those who are leaders in the community. They understand a lot is being done to recover their loved ones, but they want to see more action. And the heavy equipment was passing by this Church Service as we were standing there, so we could see the work being done. Listen to the pastor as he talked to us about what he was trying to do and the peace that he was trying to provide. We believe in the power of prayer. We can put our soul connected to god in these moments. So were praying to god to give us the right words to talk to the people, the right words to call the people to do something. Yesterday night was really tough and difficult to sleep. We love this place. Were here all the time. These are families and people that we love. So, i dont know. Thats why we say, okay, what can we do . And i feel like if we can help the ones that are helping, at least were doing something. Reporter just like i did, so you understand this is a multicultural melting pot in this area, so you see that as you stand here and talk to people. You see the amount of hard work that people have tried to put into bringing some of the supplies here that they think people may need, but at the end of the day, the information, the thing that would make people feel so much better is more information coming from that site, and of course, with it being such a long process, you can see that desperation right now. We have had several people say they would love to go down there and dig. Thats obviously something they cant do. But right now, people are Still Holding on to hope. You can see the outpouring in terms of people trying to provide them some sort of solace, but its just not there right now. Boris . Reporter ryan, so important that you captured that contrast, because you know this area well. Were both from miami, and we know that this is a jovial, vibrant, as you noted, multicultural community, and to see this tragedy happening, its painful, but that vibrance, that energy comes through in seeing so many heroes step forward to lend a helping hand. Ryan young, thank you so much. Absolutely. Reporter on that note, about lending a helping hand and offering support, as Family Members desperately wait for news on their missing loved ones, volunteers actually set up a memorial nearby just steps away with photos of those missing. The site attracting large crowds. People who have dropped off flowers, donations, and are offering prayers and a space to reflect on the staggering pain that these families must be dealing with. With us right now is leo soto, one of the volunteers from a local church who helped to set up that memorial. You knew you know someone whos involved in this accident, nikki. Yep. Reporter tell us what motivated you to start the memorial and what you want the public to know about your friend. Oh, the motivation was desperation in all honesty. I felt i would wake up in the middle of the night and i would have these nightmares and dreams and think of all the people that were suffering and after seeing the video of the initial collapse, you notice how the middle section comes down first and that section on the right stays there for about 10 to 15 seconds and all i could think of, what were those families thinking for the last ten seconds . If they were woken up by the sound of the first collapse, what were they thinking . Were they able to hug their loved one . Were they able to tell them i love you . Were they able to recognize, this is the moment that, you know, that, you know, maybe this is the last moment of our lives. In terms of nikki, shes a beautiful person. She was just about to get married. She just had her bachelorette party, a person that filled the room with happiness and she was just about to get married to her fiance, luis, who was an amazing person that also did the same thing. Reporter leo, i have to ask you about faith because for many people here, its the only thing they have at this point, seeing the devastation just a few hundred feet away from where we are right now. What message, what words did you let me rephrase. What did you think about when you were putting this memorial together in what did you want to express to the folks that are waiting to hear about their loved ones . Well, it was i wanted to express a community. Miami gets sometimes a little bit of a Bad Reputation for people being a little too transient or, you know, not smiling all the time, but when it comes to it, people in miami, they have a lot of passion, they love very hard, and they also go experience pain very hard. So what im experiencing here, its been very moving. Ive seen people go up to the memorial, shed tears, ive hugged people so its moving to have a place where the community can come together apart from everything that has to do with the government and trying to find answers and just to have a place where they can have a Spiritual Connection with Somebody Else thats also suffering with them. Reporter have you been able to communicate with nikkis family . I know theyre doing its not a good point right now. They still have hope. Everybody has hope. Its happened before, where survivors have been pulled out of rubble even weeks after the initial collapse so theres always hope and i believe we have the best rescue team in the world, maybe, so if someone were to make a miracle happen, i think it would be the miami rescue team. Reporter what do you want people to know about this community . Its just a strong community. Events like this, sadly, they happen, but how we come out after that is what matters, and i think just from being here the last few days, just seeing how everybody has really come together, everybodys walking around, passing out food, passing out drinks, you know, whatever they can do to just help the community begin to heal because theres a lot of unknowns and uncertainty about what happens, but we know we have to move forward with the process of healing as a community. So important. What words would you offer to folks watching at home, maybe encouragement for them to help if they could . Well, theres a Great Organization that was started here by the miami sports teams, miami heat, the miami marlins, its the Support Surfside Foundation and thats supportsurfside. Org. If you go there, you can make donations and those donations go directly not families impacted and obviously its going to be a lot of families impacted so the more help we can get, the better. Reporter absolutely. Leo soto, we freesht you talking to us and setting up that memorial that allows people a place to vent and reflect on the devastation that were all experiencing. Thank you so much. Its the least i could do. Reporter of course. Stay with cnn. Just ahead, were going to take you into a meeting between officials and families where emotions boiled over. And of course, for more information on how you can help the victims of the surfside building collapse, you can go to cnn. Com impact.

Reporter as of right now, this remains a waiting game in surfside, florida, anxious anticipation, excruciating as hours go by, but the families of those still missing in this Condo Collapse are anticipating answers. Nick valencia joins us now in surfside. Nick, youve been talking to a lot of these folks that have been waiting to hear whether their loved ones might make it out of this disaster. So many of them so many of us praying for a miracle. What are they sharing with you . Reporter boris, this has been the ultimate test of faith for so many who have friends or family among the Unaccounted For and still missing, and as these hours tick by with no signs of life under those piles of debris here, that collapsed building, that hope has started to turn into desperation, and in some cases, as youre about to hear, outrage. I did reach out to abigail, who has three friends, including a 6yearold little girl who she says is among the missing. She didnt want to talk, because shes too emotional but she did want to share this video from inside the briefing room. It is, in one, contentious. Im a mother. I dont know the best way to go about this. But its impossible that in four days, nobody has emerged, dead or alive. Please dont tell me about the two people. I know about it. Its not enough. Imagine if your children were in there. Youre going to leave here and youre going to take a nice picture and i know youre doing everything you can, but its not enough. You gave us a promise, and youre not fulfilling it, and you can fulfill it. Its not important when my daughter is dying. I cant use a mic because im an orthodox jew and its shabbat. I understand the grief. I speak as a daughter and a sister. These people are trying to help us. Its not them against us, and the more we can keep that in mind, its going to enable them to try to help us. Reporter emotions are clearly high, and earlier, i spoke to a spokeswoman for the Miami Dade Fire and rescue who says that she hears the frustrations, she understands during normal routine calls they get criticized for arriving in just a couple of minutes so when you put into the situation here that were dealing with, the gravity of all those Unaccounted For, you can imagine just how high emotions are here. She says they too, the first responders, are praying for a miracle, and they are doing all they can. Their efforts, though, right now, are coming up empty. Boris . Reporter it is the effort of those rescue crews and their experience in the past that inspires us and gives us hope that we will see a miracle. Nick valencia, thank you so much for that. Fred, its just hard to really put yourself in the shoes of someone in this situation as officials continue to urge for patience, were now way beyond 60 hours since this took place, and yet there are no signs of life, and the process has to be painstakingly slow to ensure the safety of not only the rescue crews but also anyone that may still be trapped inside, fighting for their lives. Right. And no matter what word you convey, really, bottom line is, these loved ones just want their family friends, loved ones back. All right, boris, thank you so much. Well check back with you. Well continue to watch the scene there in surfside, florida. Next, to washington, where a battle is brewing between the Justice Department and the state of georgia over Voting Rights. Two members of the congressional Voting Rights caucus will be joining me live next. I dont just play someone brainy on tv im an actual neuroscientist. And i love the Science Behind neuriva plus.

Crowd Applauding therabreath, its a better mouthwash. At walmart, target and other fine stores. All right, the u. S. Justice department is suing georgia over its new voting legislation. Critics say restrict Voting Rights. Our complaint alleges that recent changes to georgias Election Laws were enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of Black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color in violation of section 2 of the Voting Rights act. The georgia law was enacted after the 2020 election. Its in step with republican led legislatures nationwide trying to narrow voting access in the wake of president Donald Trumps election defeat. The Justice Department also said it is putting together a task force to look into the rise of threats against election officials. Joining us live is representative nakima williams, a democrat from georgia, a former state representative who now holds the seat held by john lewis before his passing and also Congressman Mark is a democrat from texas and the House Assistant whip. They are both cochairs of the congressional Voting Rights caucus. Good to see both of you. And meantime, we are watching the scene from surfside, florida, and i do want to ask you about that in a moment. But first, lets talk about Voting Rights Efrforts Leehere the lawsuit by the doj. Congresswoman, your hopes for this lawsuit. I was pleased to hear that the doj was intervening in this law in georgia because that is their job, to be the peoples attorney general. They literally represent americans across this country to protect their civil rights. So but i also know that doesnt abdicate us as members of congress and our responsibility and duty to make policies to ensure that everyone in this country, regardless of where they live, have their access to the ballot protected. We should have standardized processes, and right now, thats not happening. So, we still have work to do as members of congress, and thats what we are focusing on in the Voting Rights caucus is making sure that we get hr 1, the for the people act and the Voting Rights act passed because we need these protections so everyone has their access to the ballot. Congressman, this lawsuit from the doj does come after republicans blocked hr 1, the for the people Voting Rights bill. Does this lawsuit in your view, this effort, come from the legislative defeat . Well, you know, first of all, im glad that the doj has intervened in georgia. And frederica, i would ask you to also watch texas. You may be aware that the governor has called a Special Session in texas for july 8th, and theyre going to go in and theyre going to try to pass this discriminatory voting law in our state as well. And so, if we dont put an end to this now, youre going to see these laws continue to proliferate all over the country, and theyre aimed at making it harder for black and hispanics to vote, and so i want to echo what my colleague, Nikema Williams has said, cochair of the Voting Rights caucus. We absolutely have to pass hr 1. We have to pass hr 4, particularly for those of us in the south, hr 4 is going to be huge because it puts preclearance back into play, because this is very serious. This is not some sort of a game or just some sort of a partisan exercise. Were talking about trying to purposely and be overly prescriptive so that you can disenfranchise black voters in america, and its just unjust. And so, congressman veasey, while georgia is first in terms of facing a lawsuit from the doj, do you see that texas is also on the horizon for the doj . I hope that the doj is watching texas closely. Nothing good is going to come out of this Special Session. Nothing good at all. I was in the State Legislature as well. I spent eight years there, and a lot of the rhetoric that you hear from republican State Legislators about all of the voter fraud that takes place in black and hispanic neighborhoods, they would say these things very openly and very candidly. You know, laws saying that you can use your phone to record people while theyre voting so you can get voter fraud on camera. And wanting judges judges that are elected in primaries, which is how you get elected in a lot of these texas counties these days, they want these republican judges that are elected in these primaries to decide whether or not close elections should be overturned. Its just its insane whats happening here, and so i would ask Kristen Clarke is everyone else over at doj to continue to watch whats happening here in the Lone Star State because they are really trying to push the envelope without us having preclearance and the protection of the Voting Rights act and also with us not being able to pass hr 1. Its why we have to keep pushing to make sure we get boat of those passed. Congresswoman williams, not long after the Department Of Justice announced its lawsuit, the georgia governor, brian kemp, had this reaction. Listen. They are coming for you next. They are coming for your state, your ball game, your Election Laws, your business, and your way of life. So, congresswoman, what do you believe Governor Kemp means when he says, threatening your way of life . Frederica, i grew up in alabama, and this gives me reminiscence of all of the stories that i learned in My Alabama History Books of the segregationists of the south who drew their Line In The Sand because they didnt want people who looked like me to have access to the ballot, to have rights in this country, so brian kemp, history is not going to be favorable upon him. The people will continue to show up and make sure that their voices are heard and well be right there with them every step of the way to make sure were securing their right to vote. At the same time, while Governor Kemp received a lot of criticism from then President Trump and many of his supporters, do you believe that the way he is digging in his heels in support of this new legislation in impacting potentially the next election, that he will win support as he is now up for reelection . He is absolutely trying to gain favor from former president donald trump, but frederica, its appalling that we have a governor in our state who is supposed to be representing all of the people sitting here trying to restrict the right to the ballot. I know that as a black woman in the south, i wouldnt even have the right to vote in this country if it were not for the federal government, so were going to continue to move forward, and brian kemps days are numbered as governor, and im looking forward to having real leadership in my state. Congressman veasey, i wonder if i could switch gears as the Search And Rescue efforts continue in South Florida, even though the fire chief said they have yet to find any kind of, you know, sign of life there. What are your thoughts on whats taking place there right now, and what potentially could happen next in terms of building inspections, as the miami officials are saying any building over 40 years will get a new once over, particularly after whats taken place there. Yeah. Honestly, you know, what happened is horrific. When i saw the news, first, on your network, i couldnt believe it. That a building in america would collapse like that. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families. Its absolutely terrible, and you know, not long ago, we had a incident in minneapolis, minnesota, where a bridge collapsed, and people perished over the water. And so, you know, what i would say is that, you know, we need to take this seriously. Obviously, these buildings need to be inspected. And we need to get this Infrastructure Bill passed, because there are other structures like this, not just apartment buildings but bridges and other pieces of very Critical Infrastructure that moves thousands of people a day, and we need to make sure that this is that these that this infrastructure is safe for america. Its serious, and we dont ever want anything like that to happen again. And it shouldnt happen in our country. We have the best engineers. We have the best inspectors. But we need to give our states and local governments the money that they need in order to make sure that these can last for generations. Congresswoman williams, what are your views on what will soon be the citywide inspections of buildings 40 years and older that are five levels and up there in South Florida . Particularly in the miami dade area. Ive been watching the coverage, and its horrific, and my prayers go out to the families of people who are still missing and they dont even know if theyre going to be reconnected with their loved ones. We have a responsibility as leaders in this country to make sure that we are if we have the opportunity to move an infrastructure package, that were looking at things like this. Congressman veasey couldnt be more factual when he talks about the crumbling bridges and infrastructure in our country that are leaving so Many Americans vulnerable to issues like this. So we have to do our job as members of congress and move forward bold and visionary policies that are truly going to look out for all people, and that means things like infrastructure. Members of congress, Nikema Williams, marc veasey, thanks to both of you. Be well. Thank you. Coming up, at least 159 people remain missing after that condominium collapsed, including a 65yearold beloved grandmother. Her children spoke with our Boris Sanchez a short time ago. I just want my mom back. I know. And were praying as much as possible. Its the biggest thing that ever happened to small.

Reporter since the unthinkable happened on thursday morning, weve been working to bring you the stories of those whose families still remain missing, and earlier today, i spoke to a pair of siblings whose mother is still Unaccounted For in the rubble here just steps away in surfside. Judy spiegels children told us about her earlier today. Heres what they had to say. My mom is just the best person in the world. She is so caring and loving. She, like, loves my kids, and you know, obviously, im dealing with my own stuff, but i also have to worry about my daughter. I have two daughters, but ones too little to really know and understand. The picture that we just saw was scarlet with my mom. But you know, my daughter keeps asking, you know, we told her last night that my mom is missing, and we cant find her, and she told me that, well, shes really good at playing hide and seek, so shes probably hiding in her house. Can i go with there with you . I know where she hides. And i said, we have a lot of people helping. We told her that ive been on the news. Were doing everything that we can, but my husband told me that, you know, she asked again today, you know, have they found grandma . Has mommy found grandma . Im scared to death. I just want my mom back. I know. And were praying as much as possible. We just want more people to help, so if theres anyone else that can help, thats all that we want. We love my mom. Shes the most amazing person in the world. And we would literally do anything, because we know that she would do anything fors us. My dad was in town for fathers day. Joshs birthday was fathers day. We were all celebrating and happy, and you know, my dad left monday morning, and you know, they were supposed to go to new york. They have this trip coming up. You know, its days away. Like, you know, i dont really understand it. Like, my heart breaks for my dad, but at the same time, im just so thankful that he wasnt there too, because you know, obviously, the thought of losing my mom, whos my rock and my best friend, and everything is the most awful thing. But i dont really know if i would be standing if i lost two. It breaks my heart if something could have been prevented. And im just killing myself that i didnt say, on wednesday night, mom, sleep over at my house. Reporter how would you have known . Obviously i didnt know. But if i could go back in time, and i was on the phone with my mom wednesday night, and she often sleeps at my house. I just dont know why, on that day she was coming to my house thursday because i usually have ballet at my house for the kids. It breaks my heart. Rachel and josh, we pray for you, and our hearts go out to you, to your kids, to your dad. If theres anything that we can do to help facilitate this process in any way, please let us know. Were going to keep trying to get you answers and keep up. Keep saying my moms name. Keep believing. Keep praying. You know, thats all were doing. Reporter judy spiegel. Thank you. Reporter thank you, rachel and josh. Rachel and josh have not gotten an update on judys status, just like the families of the other 158 people that remain Unaccounted For. We also want to share this with you. Cnn spoke with a local rabbi who recounted one of the tragic stories touching his synagogue. The one thats really touching me the most is this family came for a funeral of a dear friend of theirs, and multiple Family Members were staying in that building. They have apartments there. And theyre now missing seven or eight Family Members. Ive never seen the strength of a mother that herself went through her own miraculous recovery from a devastating disease, and shes completely distraught that her daughter came for a funeral for someone, a dear friend, and she was there because she said to me, her daughter is the only one that could bring solace to others. So, that story has continuously resonates with me because im just blown away by her faith, by her strength, even through her breaking down, i think thats her strength. Moo youre welcome.

Com promo all right. Welcome back. Rom rom romance novelist Jackie Collins remains one of the bestselling authors of all time. The new cnn film lady boss the Jackie Collins story explores the personal life of the 1980s icon. Here is a preview. She knew that i was gay so of course her eyes lit up when she found out i was a lesbian. She always wanted to know about my personal life, was i in a relationship, was i dating. Susan preferred women. For the last three years she had been having a very satisfying affair with a producers wife. I was in one relationship where i had a girlfriend in palm springs and i would come back and she would want explicit details about what i had done. They were naked, playing games. What did they look like. You show me yours, ill show you mine. She wanted sort of the outer layer so that she could create the inner details, was sort of the sense i got. Joining me right now, laura leiser, Jackie Collins Business Manager and close friend. Was that what it was like to be her friend, you had to kiss and tell . Well, obviously as Business Manager i couldnt kiss and tell. In this documentary she is kissing and telling, because its her own words. Extraordinary words. I mean, people were riveted, what a page turner, one back after the next. So why did you want to be involved in this project, wanting to tell jackies story through this film . You know, most documentaries are told by friends and family, and its their opinion. But jackie, since she was a little girl, she kept these diaries and saved them, which was a surprise to everybody, that she had saved them all. So this documentary is in her words. This is her story. Shes telling it from what she wrote in her diaries. And so from my standpoint, that meant a lot to me, because i think thats something that she would approve. She did talk about doing an autobiography before she passed away. I think this is something that she would have done or its the way she would have wanted it done. I feel like the pictures of her tell the story too, what a glamorous, confident, sexy public persona that she really conveyed there, happily. And you know you are a big author when its your name that is more prominent than the actual title of the book, can you see that in all of her books . What was she like in private . Was it very similar to how she was publicly . Totally. Totally. What you saw publicly is what she was privately. This is someone who she loved to have fun, she loved her friends.
