At least 10 people were killed and more than 150 remain missing after a section of the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside collapsed. Search and rescue efforts are ongoing.
The collapse, which appeared to affect one leg of the L-shaped tower, tore away walls and ripped open some homes in the still-standing part of the building. About half of the condo building's 136 units were reduced to a pile of rubble. Displaced residents, left homeless and in need of assistance, were taking shelter at nearby hotels.
