The number of those who died as a result of the collapse of a residential building in Florida, up to 12 people increased, the fate of 149 remains unknown. This was told by the head of the Miami-Dead Daniella Livain Kawa district during a briefing, reports CBS News.
“From the last briefing, to the deepest regret, another deceased was discovered. Now the number of dead is 12,” Kava said. Rescuers continue to search for survivors. “When we face small voids, we continue to focus on them and continue to move and dig deeper,” said Miami-Deid Alan Kominsky head.
Earlier it was reported that large cracks appeared on a multi-storey building next to the home that fell earlier. As the local resident suggested, the collapse of the part of the building provoked damage to the neighboring high-rise building. His neighbors also declared cracks in their apartments. However, residents of the house did not evacuate. People were offered to voluntarily leave the building during his safety check, but not everyone responded to the call of the authorities.
The collapse of the part of a 12-storey residential building in Florida occurred on Thursday, June 24. Rescuers work on site, the state of emergency is announced.
