The search continues for victims of the collapsed Champlain Towers South
condominium building in Surfside, Florida. And the process of seeking answers about why it fell and who is to blame has already started in the state legal system.
Officials have opened criminal and civil investigations into the collapse of the building. Late Wednesday, rescue workers ended their two-week search for survivors, and are now just looking for the dead. Officials said there was “no chance of life” under the destroyed building.

Surfside pushes back on report on delayed building repairs
A Surfside, Florida, official pushed back Sunday on the idea that the town was responsible for slowing down a condo board’s plans to make needed structural repairs to a building that eventually collapsed, killing dozens.
Following a Miami Herald report that it took more than a month for the town to respond to plans submitted by the building’s board in May, town manager Andrew Hyatt released a statement saying the issues under discussion were preliminary plans unrelated to structural work and not permits to begin repairs the building needed to pass a 40-year recertification.
