Miami chaplains, clergy remember Surfside building collapse a year later
A few vivid memories of the 2021 Surfside building collapse remain etched in the memory of a priest who is chaplain to the Miami-Dade Police Department. They include standing and watching as rescue workers dug through the pile of rubble following that June 24 event near Miami Beach last year and retrieved the remains of the deceased, often concealed under crushed mattresses.
