Rescuers: Survivors could still be inside collapsed building

SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) — Rescue workers digging for a fifth day into the remnants of a collapsed Florida condo building stressed Monday that they could still find survivors in the rubble, a hope family members clung to even though no one has been pulled out alive since the first hours after the structure fell. Another body was recovered overnight, bringing the confirmed death toll to 10. But more than 150 people are still missing in Surf- side. Their families rode buses Sunday to a nearby site to watch the intense rescue effort, which included firefighters, sniffer dogs and search experts using radar and sonar devices. Early Monday, a crane lifted a large slab of concrete from the debris pile, enabling about 30 rescuers in hard hats to move in and carry smaller pieces of debris into red buckets, which are emptied into a larger bin for a crane to remove. The work has been compli- cated by intermittent rain showers, but the fires that hampered the initial search have been extinguished. Andy Alvarez, a deputy incident command- er with Miami-Dade Fire Rescue, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that rescuers have been able to find some voids inside the wreck- age, mostly in the basement and the parking garage. “We have over 80 rescuers at a time that are breaching the walls that collapsed, in a frantic effort to try to rescue those that are still viable and to get to those voids that we typically know exist in these buildings,” Alva- Enterprise photo by Lydia Ely rez said.
