SURFSIDE: Rescue teams on Friday combed through the rubble of an oceanfront apartment block near Miami Beach that partially collapsed, killing at least four people and leaving another 159 unaccounted for amid fears of a much higher death toll.
An unknown number of residents are feared to have been asleep in the 12-story building, in the town of Surfside, when the collapse in the wee hours of Thursday morning reduced a large portion of it to a pile of debris, exposing the interiors of gutted apartments.
