The focus in the deadly collapse of a condominium tower in South Florida shifted to the structural integrity of the building as an 11th fatality was reported Monday.
The collapse of the 40-year-old, 12-story Champlain Towers South in Surfside — an Atlantic Ocean coastal town of 5,700 about 15 miles north of Miami — happened around 1:30 am Thursday.
More than 150 people believed to be in the building at the time are missing.
