Surfside building collapse latest: Demolition time not set

Search and rescue efforts at the partially collapsed Surfside condo remained in a holding pattern as crews prepared for the building's demolition.

Search and rescue crews looking for 121 people at the partially collapsed South Florida condominium remained in a holding pattern Sunday afternoon as demolition crews prepared to bring down the rest of the structurally compromised building. Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava told reporters Sunday morning that she didn't have a definitive timetable as to when the demolition would begin as crews ae still were doing preliminary work on the site. Search crews suspended efforts Saturday and won't resume until after the demolition. "As both the governor and I made clear, our top priority is that the building come down as soon as possible, no matter what time that occurs, and as safely as possible," Levine Cava said. The partial collapse occurred around 1:15 a.m. on June 24 at the Champlain Towers South condominium in the small, beachside town of Surfside, about 6 miles north of Miami Beach.
