One Dead,51 Still Missing as Fla. Bldg. Crumbles; Most of 12-Story Miami-Area Tower Is Destroyed

 A severe thunderstorm halted the search for the 51 people still unaccounted for after a 12-story oceanfront apartment building partially collapsed in Florida early this morning, the Daily News website reports today (June 24, 2021). 


At least one person was killed and another 10 were injured after the condo tower -- located in the Miami-area town of Surfside -- crumbled around 1:35 a.m., police said. 


About half of the building's 130 units were destroyed, while others were left entirely exposed when the walls gave way.
