As search and rescue operations at the site of a partial building collapse in Surfside, Florida, stretched into a tenth day Saturday, authorities announced they would pause operations to prepare for the likely demolition of what remains of the Champlain Towers South condo building.
"There is a threat to the standing building," Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said Saturday night, adding that because of that threat, engineers and the demolition team paused operations around 4 p.m. Saturday. "We're waiting on instructions from the engineers ... before we can safely resume," she explained.More Related News
