Florida condo collapse: 9 dead as families privately visit disaster area
By Megan Ziegler
Florida officials and authorities give condo collapse update
Florida officials and authorities gave a news conference Sunday evening regarding an update on the deadly condo collapse in Surfside.
As the death toll from the collapsed condominium in Surfside, Florida rose Sunday to nine, relatives were growing increasingly desperate for news and worried about the slow progress and dwindling hopes.
No one has been pulled alive from the pile since hours after the collapse of the Champlain Towers South building Thursday morning. Some family members were taken by bus Sunday to a location near the site after relatives frustrated with the pace of rescue efforts demanded to visit the scene.

Teams from Mexico and Israel have been brought in to support the rescue operation.
Three years ago, an engineering firm said the building needed major repairs to fix damaged concrete in columns, beams and walls.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said rescue and recovery operations are the first priority, followed by helping the survivors.
“Then, the next most important thing is why did this happen?” he said Sunday. “I do think it’s important that we get a definitive explanation.” With files from The Associated Press
