…it could be a factor and obviously there’ll be a full investigation so we’ll know more in time…but one of the things that I was reading from the original repair/maintenance reports was that the suggested safe repairs three years ago would be 15 million dollars so ‘patch up’ stuff was done instead, rather than what was recommended and what the building needed…

[Miami collapse: Remaining structure demolished
over safety fears]

[The remaining section 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 last standing part of Champlain Towers South

latest in a video, in this link

Captain Tony Trim is one of the workers striving to clear the rubble from the collapse of the 12-storey tower block in Surfside, Florida.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue shared a video showing the "enormous" pile of debris that the team are facing.

Eight-six people are confirmed dead and dozens are still missing.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world...cid=uxbndlbing

and a first survivor is found, a cat



As grim news unfolds in Florida following the Surfside building collapse, one small ray of heartwarming news has come forth.

As a "small piece of good news," the Mayor of Miami-Dade County Daniella Levine Cava reported that a cat owned by one of the residents has been found and returned to its family.

The entire family is so happy to have been able to see Binx again, as the mayor put it, "thank you from the bottom of our hearts.".

The short-haired black cat named Binx made it out of the collapse and was found by rescue teams wandering nearby.

Binx belonged to a family living on the tower's ninth floor.

As more bodies were recovered and workers had lowered the pile of rubble to ground level, the confirmed death toll in the collapse of the Miami condominium tower climbed to 86.

The number is staggering and heartbreaking and affects us all on an extremely deep level, said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

The site where 62 bodies have been recovered has been dubbed the largest non-hurricane emergency response effort in Florida's history, says Levine Cava.

There are still 43 people listed as missing.

Having clung to hope for two weeks, the authorities on Wednesday ended the rescue operation on June 24 in order to focus on searching for remains.
