SURFSIDE, Fla. - Emergency workers gave up Wednesday on any hope of finding survivors in a collapsed Florida condo building, telling sobbing families that there was no chance of life in the rubble as crews shifted their efforts to recovering more remains.
The announcement followed increasingly somber reports from emergency officials, who said they sought to prepare families for the worst. At this point, we have truly exhausted every option available to us in the search-and-rescue mission, Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said at a news conference.
