A wooden heart at a makeshift memorial for the victims of the collapse of the Champlain Towers South building
Victims and families who suffered losses in the collapse of a 12-storey condominium in Miami will get a minimum of 150 million dollars (£109.5 million) in initial compensation, a Florida judge has said.
That sum includes about 50 million (£36.5 million) in insurance on the Champlain Towers South building and at least 100 million (£73 million) in proceeds from the sale of the Surfside property where the structure once stood, Miami-Dade circuit judge Michael Hanzman said at a hearing.
“The court’s concern has always been the victims here,” the judge said, adding that the group includes visitors and renters, not just condo owners. “Their rights will be protected.”

Recordings of emergency calls after an oceanfront Florida apartment building collapsed in the middle of the night have revealed disbelief, panic and confusion as people tried to comprehend the disaster.
“Oh my God! The whole building collapsed!” one caller said to a dispatcher at the Miami-Dade Police Department, which released the recordings on Wednesday from the June 24 collapse of Champlain Towers South. The names of the callers were not released.
“We’ve got to get out. Hurry up, hurry up. There’s a big explosion,” a second caller said. “There’s a lot of smoke. I can’t see anything. We’ve got to go. I can’t see nothing but smoke.”
