the demolition preparation
Search and rescue efforts at the partially collapsed South Florida condo will temporarily pause as officials prepare for the demolition of the building's remaining units, officials said.

Officials are waiting on instructions from the engineers who are inspecting the site and will resume search and rescue when they are cleared to do so.

The Mayor did not provide a timeline for the planned demolition, but officials said earlier a crew could demolish the remaining units of Champlain Towers South as soon as Sunday, ahead of the approaching Tropical Storm Elsa.

Otherwise, Elsa's winds, which mightreach the area early next week, could topple the structure unsafely, officials said.

How sad for those waiting and hoping that their loved ones would be found...alive....
