911 calls from Surfside condo collapse reveal confusion and chaos as building came down By: CNN
By Amir Vera and Aya Elamroussi, CNN (CNN) The 911 calls during the first moments of the deadly collapse of the condo building last month in Surfside, Florida, reveal chaos and confusion among residents and witnesses as the building came down. It seems like something underground, everything exploded, one caller told dispatchers, adding that it seemed like an earthquake.
Another caller, who told dispatchers they were in a parking garage, begged dispatchers to send help. I know the police are here already. Can somebody help me get out please? the caller pleaded. I was able to escape, but I m outside in the parking lot. If the building comes down, it will come down on my head.
