SURFSIDE, Fla. – The death toll in the Miami-area condo building collapse rose to 46 Wednesday after workers extricated 10 more victims from the rubble, authorities said.
Mayor Daniella Levine Cava fought back tears as she made the announcement, in English and Spanish, adding that 32 of the victims had been identified and their family members notified.
“Our commitment to this mission is deeply personal,” Levine Cava said of the rescue teams that have been working around the clock for two weeks. “We are so grateful to these every-day heroes. They are superheroes.”
More than 90 people remain unaccounted for, she said. Detectives were working to determine whether all the missing were actually in the Champlain Towers South
