Miami: At least 99 persons are unaccounted for after a building partially collapsed in Surfside, Florida. At least one person was killed and at least 11 were injured.
The number of people who have been located now stands at 102, while 99 are still unaccounted for, according to Miami-Dade Mayor Danielle Levine-Cava.
It is unclear how many people were in the building at the time.
The cause of the collapse – affecting about half of the 130 units in the complex – remains unclear. The block in the town of Surfside was built in 1980.
A number of Latin American migrants have been reported missing by their consulates. Emergency officials are also asking people to call 305-614-1819 if they have relatives who are unaccounted for.
