At least one person was killed and at least 10 others injured when a 12-story apartment building near Miami partially collapsed and “pancaked” early Thursday, prompting a massive search-and-rescue effort — with 99 people still unaccounted for, officials said.
The ocean-facing portion of the 136-unit Champlain Towers South Condo on Collins Avenue in Surfside, just north of Miami Beach, collapsed about 1:30 a.m., leaving a mountain of rubble and trapping residents asleep in their beds inside.
