Officials say there are still 159 people unaccounted for after the partial collapse of a beachside building in Florida.
SAN FRANCISCO - Rescue efforts Friday were hampered by fires that broke out in the pile of rubble where part of the 12-story condominium building in Surfside, just north of Miami, collapsed just the day before.
Rescue crews worked through the smoke trying to find victims still buried somewhere under the debris. Officials said 159 people are still missing.
Strong wind gusts and rain shows slowed the search and rescue process. Two cranes began removing debris from the pile of rubble, pausing at times so rescue crews could remove smaller pieces and listen for any sounds of survivors.
