Thursday, June 24, a 12-story residential building in Surfside, FL, partially collapsed. A week later, the Bidens arrived on site, and though 145 people are still missing, rescue efforts had to be paused due to safety concerns. At about 1:30 a.m., the south section of the Champlain Towns crumbled. Sadly, 18 people have now been confirmed dead, and as each day passes, hopes of finding survivors dwindle.
Pause On Rescue Efforts
Due to concerns regarding the stability of the remainder of the building, search and rescue crews have had to stop working. In the early hours of July 1, the fire chief announced the hold due to debris hanging in the garage and concrete movement in the remainder of the building, which could potentially foreshadow new failures. Monitors placed throughout the building detected expansions in the concrete ranging from six to 12 inches.
