Questions are mounting about how a residential building in the Miami area could have collapsed so quickly and violently last week, as the death toll rises to 11 with more than 150 still unaccounted for and desperate families fear the worst.
Experts are looking at possible pre-existing critical flaws in the structure of the apartment tower in Surfside, near Miami Beach, which pancaked into a pile of smoking rubble in the early hours of Thursday.
Rescue teams from Florida and abroad continued to scour the debris for signs of life, in torrid heat and high humidity, but as the hours dragged on, the outlook grew increasingly grim.
Unas 150 personas permanecen desaparecidas.
