Horror in Miami As 12-story Champlain Towers Collapses 6/24/21

A multistory residential building partially collapsed early Thursday in the South Florida community of Surfside, killing at least one person and raising fears that others may be trapped under rubble.
The collapse happened around 2 a.m. ET. Video from the scene shows a side of the building -- more than 10 stories tall -- having fallen, with huge piles of rubble underneath and a large number of first responders.
One person there has died, and at least 10 others were treated on the scene, Surfside Mayor Charles W. Burkett said.
"This is a horrific catastrophe. In the United States, buildings just don't fall down," Burkett said.
Rescue teams scrambled to the scene -- 8777 Collins Avenue -- a few miles north of Miami Beach. More than 80 rescue units responded, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue said.
Kimberly Morales told CNN she lives in the building across the street from the collapse and was awakened by building alarms going off and pounding on her door.
