Episode 4: ‘Not a single soul alive.’ Fear of new collapse grows as hope flickers out
Episode 4: From Rescue to Recovery — Collapse: Disaster in Surfside
It was the news no one wanted to hear.
The team of first responders at the rubble where Champlain Towers South once stood told families that their mission had shifted from “search and rescue” to “search and recovery.” That meant they did not expect to find any more victims alive.
Episode 4: From Rescue to Recovery of Collapse: Disaster in Surfside, a new podcast from the Miami Herald/Treefort Media, takes listeners inside the grim search for the dead after Champlain South collapsed — and how Herald reporters began to search for answers to explain the terrible tragedy.
