Authorities gave an update on Sunday regarding the collapsed oceanfront condominium tower near Miami in Surfside, Fla., where rescuers are racing to locate any survivors beneath the rubble.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava confirmed on Sunday that the death toll from the catastrophic collapse is now at nine. She said one victim had died in the hospital, while workers had pulled more bodies from the wreckage since yesterday.
A “very deep fire” hampered rescue efforts Saturday as infrared technology, water and foam were being used to battle the blaze, whose source was unclear. Smoke has been the biggest barrier, the mayor said, but that the fire had been "suppressed."
Authorities also announced they are beginning an audit of buildings nearing their 40-year review — like the fallen Champlain Towers South — to make sure they’re safe.
A 2018 engineering report showed the building had “major structural damage” to a concrete slab below its pool deck that needed extensive repairs. The information was part of a series of documents released by the city of Surfside.
