Watch Live: Officials give update on Surfside condo building collapse after rescue efforts end

Officials in Surfside are holding a briefing Thursday morning after efforts as the site of a condo building collapse shifted from rescue to recovery. The briefing is scheduled to be held at approximately 10 a.m. Eastern. 

At least 54 people have been confirmed dead and 86 are still unaccounted for nearly two weeks after the building crumbled in the middle of the night, Mayor Daniella Levine Cava of Miami-Dade County said on Wednesday. "We've truly exhausted every option available to us in the search and rescue mission," she said, adding that the families of the victims were told of the "extremely difficult decision" earlier in the day to shift to recovery. "To share this news with the families, this evening, who are still missing their loved ones was devastating."
