The standing portion of a partially collapsed apartment block near Miami has been demolished over safety fears as a tropical storm approaches Florida.
Explosive charges were used to bring down the remaining part of Champlain Towers South late on Sunday.
Part of the 12-storey block collapsed on 24 June. Twenty-four people are known to have died and 121 are missing.
The remaining unstable structure, which contained no bodies, was demolished so search efforts could resume safely.
