Episode 2: Feet from Death — Collapse: Disaster in Surfside
For many residents of Champlain Towers South, life or death hinged on where their apartments were located. A few feet down the hallway meant the difference.
As search-and-rescue teams desperately sought survivors in the rubble of the Surfside condo, all the while fearing the rest of the building might collapse on them, family members pleaded for information.
Episode 2: Feet from Death of Collapse: Disaster in Surfside, a new podcast from the Miami Herald/Treefort Media, shows listeners what happened in the dramatic and tragic days after Champlain South collapsed without warning.
