as a former builder, this collapse angers me....never should have happened, or at very min., no one should have been occupying, in the state it was in. My heartfelt condolences to all the families.

I can’t imagine living in any condo in Miami area that is over 40 years old after this disaster. Plus ocean levels rising in Miami. Get out while your real estate is still worth anything.

Please God. Keep all of the victims in the rubble safe and alive. Please find them and reunite them with their loved ones.

Bless these rescue crews, volunteers, and support groups! They face a daunting task!

IT BRINGS ME TO TEAR'S WHEN I SEE THE GALLANT EFFORTS OF THE RESCUE TEAM MEMBER'S .... I can not even begin to image being in their place, both physically & mentally .... digging out the concrete with their hands 12 hr shifts .... GOD BLESS THEM !!!!
I'm so very sorry for all those affected & involved !!

i don’t think they’ll be able to call this a search and rescue any longer

[caroad]

The moral of the story is....don’t be an obstructionist when dealing with physics and science.

[maryvalentine]

I pray God give them strength to continue their search for family missing love ones tnx guys...

[stickypawn]

I have a feeling there is someone still alive there

The 15 year old boy found alive was named Jonah. The sign of Jonah given by Jesus comes to mind.

Thank you to all the WORKERS around the WORLD and the USA in HELPING THESE PEOPLE. GOD BLESS you all
I'm so impressed by THIS FEMALE mayor.
You all are doing a GREAT JOB

I wonder if autopsy will be able to tell time of death -- if they died during initial collapse, or died days later while trapped in the rubble. Imagine the horror of surviving the collapse but dying while waiting to be rescued 😭

This will be a big lawsuit this is so sad

[kattiepenn]

So in average 2 persons per day. They had a total of 159 missing, it will take 79 days to discover them all.

This should have never happened. It was pure negligence in repairing the structure of the building and not the roof. Those responsible should be held accountable to the max and they should make retribution to all of the families involved.

I can't stand that woman. And "very unfortunately we have found a twelfth." What, is she Count Dracula?
These family members are going to be tortured, handling it like this. They are ALL dead and mourning services are needed. They are not going to find a group of people in a hole. Everyone was horrifically crushed to death, including all of those beloved pets, and most probably felt nothing.
There is no spin on this, so don't let every speaker sway you.. there is no hope and that was sealed after about 3 seconds.
Horrific and i hope all of their suffering was very quick.

I know they trying to be careful but they need to hurry up. People wont survive for long.

[JackyHuang]

For an entire week more than 100+ still unfound, r u guys using brushes? Even archaeologists dig faster than that.

[larryburns]

All concrete will have cracks eventually. Being on the beach the salt water will enter and rust the rebar and destroy the concrete. They need to use a reinforcement for all under ground concrete which is not affected by the salt water such as carbon fiber.

[kflowers]

Gut wrenching pain they've suffered and the families waiting in despair.
