The remaining section of a partially collapsed apartment block near Miami has been demolished over safety fears as a tropical storm approaches Florida.
On Sunday night, explosive charges were used to bring down the last standing part of Champlain Towers South, which had been evacuated.
On 24 June, part of the block suddenly collapsed. Twenty-four people are known to have died and 121 are still missing.
Crews resumed the search for victims within a few hours of the demolition.
They are now hoping to be able to get into the apartment block's underground garage, which they could not access safely before, and get a clearer picture of any voids that may exist in the rubble.
