Video: Collapse of Champlain Towers 8777 Collins Avenue, Surfside
Collapse of Champlain Towers 8777 Collins Avenue, Surfside. 1 dead in collapse at Miami-area condo; 35 people pulled, 55 units destroyed.
The building is a block away from Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's Miami home.
At least one person has died and an unknown number of people are missing after a multi-story building partially collapsed in southern Florida's Miami-Dade County early Thursday morning, authorities said.
Champlain Towers -- a 12-story residential building in the beachside town of Surfside, about 6 miles north of Miami Beach -- has more than 130 units, and about 55 have collapsed, officials said. Only 35 occupants, including those injured and killed, were pulled from the rubble.
Surfside Mayor Charles W. Burkett said in a press conference that way the building collapsed is making it difficult for rescue teams to locate survivors.
"The problem is the building has literally pancaked," Burkett said. "It's heartbreaking because it doesn't mean, to me, that we're going to be successful, as successful as we want to be, to find people alive."
