Federal investigators are still combing through twisted steel and concrete to understand why Champlain Towers South, a 40-year-old condominium in Surfside, Florida, collapsed last year, killing 98.
Around 1:30 a.m. on June 24, 2021, 98 people were killed when Champlain Towers South, a 40-year-old condominium in Surfside, Florida, collapsed. Raysa Rodriguez was on the ninth floor of a part of the building that somehow remained standing.
The answer could be in a massive Miami warehouse where 800 tons of remnants from the Champlain Towers is being stored. "Our timeline for this investigation was to finish our technical findings by the fall of 2023," Bell told Alfonsi."Then we have to work on our report and recommendations. And we're looking for that the fall of 2024.""I want them to know that we're working as fast as we can," Bell said."And the implications for our findings are huge. We have to get this right.
Among the possibilities are shoddy construction, bad design, or faulty materials. Glenn Bell was on the engineering team that investigated the collapse of the World Trade Center following the 9/11 attack and came out of retirement to try and solve the Surfside mystery.
