(AP Photo/Lynne Sladky) SURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) – Rescue workers now focused on finding remains instead of survivors in the rubble of a Florida condominium collapse vowed Thursday to keep up their search for victims until they cleared all the debris at the site. A fire official told family members at a meeting that crews “will not stop working until they’ve gotten to the bottom of the pile and recovered every single of the families’ missing loved ones,” Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said at an evening news conference. He did not identify the official, but said the families were grateful.

Florida condo tower death toll rises to 64

Authorities announced on Wednesday they had decided to transition from a search and rescue mission for potential survivors to an operation to recover remains. Despite the decision, Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said rescuers haven t given up all hope and were still praying for a miracle. To pay their respects to the victims, officials said search teams observed a moment of silence overnight at 1:20 am (0520 GMT) - the exact time the building collapsed two weeks ago. Multiple investigations are under way to determine the cause of the collapse. A 2018 report released by city officials revealed fears of major structural damage in the complex, from the concrete slab under the pool deck to columns and beams in the parking garage.

No survivors have been found since the early hours after the collapse on June 24. In light of the rising death count and inability to find survivors, authorities announced yesterday that the operation was being recategorized from a “search-and-rescue mission” to a “recovery effort,” meaning that there was little to no possibility of saving any additional lives. Rescue crews have said many victims were found in their beds, with the collapse proving to be one of the deadliest mass casualty building disasters in US history, not including fires or terrorist attacks.
