© AFP 2023 / JOE RAEDLEThe remaining part of the partially collapsed 12-story Champlain Towers South condo building falls with a controlled demolition on 4 July 2021 in Surfside, Florida. The decision by officials to bring the rest of the building down was brought on by the approach of Tropical Storm Elsa and fears that the structure might come down in an uncontrolled fashion. Over one hundred people are missing as the search-and-rescue effort continues.
