One person has died and at least eight are injured after the partial collapse of a residential building near Miami, Florida.
Search and rescue efforts are continuing, with firefighters searching what remains of the building.
The collapse happened just before 1:30 a.m. Thursday at the Champlain Towers South condo on Collins Avenue in Surfside, north of Miami.
An aerial-platform is used by firefighters to rescue individuals that are trapped on their balconies.
Video below:
Firefighters are seen pulling a boy from the rubble.
An interview with a resident who lives on the first floor of the condo that’s partially collapsed:
Interior footage caught the collapse of the building:
Pairing the witness interview with the interior footage, you can see how in the first few seconds it goes from dry to leaking water with some furniture having shifted (notice the mattresses leaning on the left?); which must have been the first collapse he speaks of.

Sounds to me like it was entirely a massive structural failure of sorts, from the various witness statements.
