SURFSIDE More than 200 search-and-rescue specialists, working in sopping and sweltering conditions, had moved 3 million pounds of concrete on the sixth day of a frenzied and mass effort to find survivors or the dead amid the ruins of a collapsed condo tower north of Miami.
Twenty local, state and federal agencies and a flood of volunteers from across the world had rushed to Surfside, a mostly residential community just north of Miami, in the hours and days following the collapse of a portion of the 13-story Champlain Towers South tower last Thursday.
The nation s focus on the disaster is set to heighten further with President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden planning to visit the site Thursday.
