The incident is one of the most fatal events in the recent history of building failures and it is suggested that it could have been prevented given proper monitoring and supervision. Days after the event, a report issued in 2018 for the building came to the spotlight. All of the remaining residents were evacuated in fear of further deterioration. A major rescue operation initiated after the collapse and 126 people were saved by managing to escape the facility. All of them but one who was hospitalized, died at the site. On July 4, 2021, the remaining portion of the building was demolished.Īs of July 22, 2021, 97 victims associated with the collapse had been identified. At least half of the apartments were devastated. The structure collapsed in seconds with footage (watch the video below) indicating that its north part initially gave way destabilizing the eastern part which subsequently failed. The tower was a residential facility which included 136 apartments that varied in size. The building partially gave way on June 24, 2021, under unknown conditions.
The structure known as the Champlain Towers South is located at 8777 Collins Avenue, Surfside and was constructed in 1981 as part of a three-building complex. A multistory building collapse in Surfside, a Miami suburb, has prompted a thorough technical investigation.
