Death Toll In Florida Condo Collapse Rises To 90

A total of 90 bodies have been pulled out from the rubble of collapsed condo in Surfside, Florida.

Gatekeepers News reports that Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said seventy-one of the victims have been identified and their families have been notified.

Efforts are ongoing to locate 34 others who are still missing in the Champlain Towers South building that collapsed on June 24.

Levine Cava stated that the teams are making “incredible progress,” since the search operation shifted its focus from rescue to recovery.

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett noted that the recovery effort is still delicate work.

Gatekeepers News reports that Miami-Dade Fire Chief Alan Cominsky also buttress the statement, saying: “On the rubble pile where we’re still in our search and recovery, it’s still a methodical process,” Cominsky said.

“The crews there, they’re monitoring, they’re hand digging … As we’re delayering, it’s a slow process.”

Burkett also said the search and recovery workers have “even found unbroken wine bottles in the rubble and recovered them.” He said other personal belongings, like rings, continue to be recovered as well.

According to him, the items are being “returned to the site storage area, categorized, photographed and saved for the families.”
