More than 150 others are still missing in the community of Surfside, just outside Miami.
Rescuers searching for a fifth day for survivors of a Florida condo building collapse used bucket brigades and heavy machinery on Monday as they worked atop a precarious mound of pulverised concrete, twisted steel and the remnants of dozens of households. Authorities said their efforts were still a search-and-rescue operation, but no one has been found alive since hours after the collapse on Thursday. Two more bodies were recovered Monday, bringing the confirmed death toll to 11. More than 150 others are still missing in the community of Surfside, just outside Miami. The pancake collapse of the building left layer upon layer of intertwined debris, frustrating efforts to reach anyone who may have survived in a pocket of space.
