The two victims found on the evening of the 1st, one of them was the daughter of a firefighter in Miami, who was only 7 years old.
Kava said that every night since the accident has been extremely difficult for everyone, especially the affected families, but even more so on the night of the first day. For our rescuers, it is even more sad.
Kava said on the evening of the 1st that as the search mission continues, local officials are considering demolishing the remaining part of the south building of the collapsed building.

Due to concerns that the erected part of the building might collapse at any time, the search and rescue work was suspended at 2 am local time on the 1st and then resumed at around 5 pm.
Kava said that engineers are assessing the safety of the remaining parts of the South Building. Engineers are conducting continuous testing and evaluation on the site to expand the search scope to more areas under safe conditions.
Kava said that technical experts carefully and methodically assess possible “demolition decisions” and consider the possible impact on the existing ruins.
US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) structural expert Scott Nachman said that they are doing relevant technical assessments and will submit the results to government officials as soon as possible. It may take a few weeks before it can be demolished.
The head of the Florida Fire Department Jimmy Pronos said that the demolition work “may be faster than we expected.” He said that the heavy equipment brought by the rescue team poses a potential threat to the still erected building.Return to Sohu to see more
