Surfside Condo Disaster Death Toll Rises to 28, with 117 Still Missing
----------------------------------------------------------------------

In South Florida, the death toll from the Surfside condominium disaster
has risen to 28, with 117 people still unaccounted for. On Sunday,
search-and-rescue crews carried out a controlled demolition of the
partially collapsed Champlain Towers South building in order to give
search crews access to areas they were previously unable to reach.
Meanwhile, the nearby city of North Miami Beach ordered the immediate
evacuation of a half-century-old condominium Friday after a report
determined the structure to be structurally and electrically unsafe.
