The search for possible clues into the collapse of Champlain Towers South, and the corresponding hunt for a possible buyer of the site of the tragedy in Surfside, Fla., both moved forward notably on Aug. 11.
In the morning, just as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) was publicly detailing its approach to examining the site of the Champlain Towers South collapse in Surfside, news of a letter of interest from a possible “stalking horse” bidder eyeing a potential $110- to $120-million purchase of the property was being announced in the Miami courtroom of Judicial Court Judge Michael Hanzman.
