Ten more victims have been recovered in the condo building collapse in Surfside, Florida, bringing the death toll to 46. Another 94 people are still unaccounted for, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced at a press conference Wednesday.
Search crews again worked through the night and made progress on areas that were inaccessible prior to the recent demolition of the part of the condo building that was still standing, she said.
Of the victims who have been recovered, 32 have been identified.
Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said teams at the site are working non-stop and that he hasn’t seen it as busy since the first day he was there. They are using all of the heavy equipment available to maximize efforts to pull out all trapped residents.
Teams in the Florida town just north of Miami Beach had been working under conditions made even harder by wind and rain from Elsa. On Wednesday morning, day 14 of the search, the weather cleared, according to officials.
