Rescue operations temporarily halted July 1 at the Surfside, Fla., condominium due to “structural concerns” about the stability of the section of the 12-story residential tower that remains standing, after its partial collapse on June 24, said Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County mayor at a press conference.
However, work resumed as of 4:45 p.m. on July 1. To date, 18 people were reported dead in the collapse and 145 people remained missing.
