Rescuers continued their search for victims of the Champlain Towers South condo in Surfside, Fla., on Sunday. As a perilous search and rescue operation heads into its fourth day in Surfside, Fla., some have asked why the operation at the collapsed Champlain Towers South condo building has taken so long and whether there is any hope for those left inside.
Officials have assured the public that the local search team, well regarded and sent to disasters around the world, and now working together with Israeli and Mexican teams, was doing everything it could.
The dangers to the rescuers and missing residents are clear and dictate that the process must be slow and deliberate, experts and officials say.

The search is moving along, after a fire that impeded visibility was brought under control.

Hell Oprah still yells at her microwave HURRY UP
Another triumph of “experts” coming up, where they get the same results as 10,000 monkeys equipped with spoons, or a aboriginal medicine man, or a journalist. People die without water fairly quickly. Usually after 3 days, especially when the are injured, trapped and buried under rubble. Has the “use the maximum amount of people to dig with hands and and tools” method been thoroughly disproved?
