Watch Live: Biden visits Surfside, Florida, in wake of condo building collapse

President Joe Biden and first lady Jill Biden are heading to Surfside, Florida, on Thursday, a week after a towering condo building in the town came crashing down. Eighteen people are confirmed dead in the tragedy and more than 140 are unaccounted for. 

Mr. Biden and Jill are scheduled to receive a command briefing from Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and other officials just after 10 a.m. They will later thank first responders and search and rescue teams and meet families impacted by the collapse before Mr. Biden delivers remarks in Miami.  As the search for any survivors — and victims — continues, residents who escaped the collapse are sharing chilling stories.
