[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 16638195, member: 48574"] [i]Authorities: 18 dead, 147 missing in Champlain Towers condominium collapse Authorities on Thursday said search-and-rescue efforts at the collapsed Surfside condominium building have been halted until further notice due to "structural concerns about the standing structure." The efforts were paused just after 2 a.m. because of movement in a large column, as well as slight shifting of concrete floor slabs. "We've been working in a very, very unsafe environment," said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Chief Alan Cominsky. "There was some expansion with the cracks.

She was asking for help and she was pleading to be taken out of there. “We were continuously talking to her. ... ‘Honey, we got you.
