Demolition crews from a Seattle-based company, which has experience in large-scale building demolitions, were dispatched Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News captured the dramatic explosion and posted the footage to social media.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"11.421725239617\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The remaining part of the Champlain Towers South building was demolished Sunday night, hours after the mayor of Miami-Dade announced the timeframe for demolition. As of Sunday, rescuers have recovered the remains of 24 people, with 121 still missing. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yJ69Oewzqf\">pic.twitter.com\/yJ69Oewzqf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 CBS News (@CBSNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CBSNews\/status\/1411887078405718021?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>By the time search efforts halted earlier this weekend, rescuers had found the remains of 24 residents, but it has been days since anyone has been recovered from the rubble alive. Following the demolition, crews found the remains of an additional 3 residents.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News reported Monday that search efforts resumed following the demolition, but could be put on hold again as Tropical Storm Elsa moves up the Florida coast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSearch and rescue efforts for 118 unaccounted for residents continued Monday now that the unstable remnants of a Miami-area condo tower that collapsed nearly two weeks ago has been brought down,\u201d the outlet said. \u201cThe destruction of the remaining structure has allowed search and rescue teams to explore more of the debris without concerns that the unstable building will collapse on the crews, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said on NBC News\u2019 \u2018TODAY\u2019 show.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe owe it to all of those waiting to get this pile and open it up for search and that\u2019s exactly what happened last night before midnight,\u201d Cava said. \u201cThey were out there again, searching in the rubble. And we understand that families realize the fact that time has gone by, they realize that the chances are going dimmer and dimmer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Surfside, Florida, mayor Charles Burkett said Monday that the demolition has allowed crews to work faster, and that the search teams are now exhuming the collapsed apartments at a much faster rate because they are now able to use heavy equipment, which was, before the demolition, prohibited, lest the machines destablize the remaining structure.<\/p>\n<p>Officials, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/07\/02\/us\/miami-collapse-victims-recovery-rescue.html\">the New York Times added over the weekend<\/a>, are now struggling with how long to call the operation a \u201csearch and rescue\u201d operation, given that the chances of finding a survivor in the wreckage are \u201cdimming.\u201d Declaring the effort a \u201crecovery\u201d process \u201ccould unlock new, potentially faster ways of tunneling through the layers of concrete to find remains\u201d and it \u201ccould also allow the families of the missing to move forward in the grieving process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the drawback, of course, is that it would involve admitting that its likely the 118 missing residents of the Champlain Towers South are dead.<\/p>\n<p>Burkett told media that the search\u2019s official designation was immaterial.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEfforts will continue 24\/7 until every unaccounted for person will is found, with the exception of bad weather, Burkett said,\u201d per NBC.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
