The evidence from the collapsed Surfside condo is growing by the day, but the investigation could take years
CNN
Allyn Kilsheimer, Surfside city's hired investigator, has been collecting evidence about the fallen condo and its design and maintenance in search of clues that could identify who, if anyone, should be held accountable for its collapse.
"Here, to here, to here, to here," he told the workers, tracing a square along a support structure built out of the building's facade to indicate where he wanted radar testing done that would show the arrangement of the steel reinforcement beneath the surface. The gruff 80-year-old, a structural engineer and veteran of forensic investigations at catastrophes like the Pentagon post-9/11 and the collapse of a pedestrian bridge at Miami's Florida International University in 2018, was hired by the town of Surfside, Florida, one day after a condominium collapse last month that's left 79 people confirmed dead and 61 still unaccounted for.More Related News
