Explosive charges brought down the remaining structure of the partially collapsed Champlain Towers South building in Surfside Sunday.
The decision to demolish the Surfside building came after concerns mounted that the damaged structure was at risk of falling, endangering the crews below and preventing them from operating in some areas.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said officials would continue the search and rescue efforts on any sections that are "safe to access as soon as we are cleared.”
