Authorities in Florida announced a staggering increase in the death toll, which now stands at 90 people. It is believed that more than 31 still remain unaccounted for.<\/p>\n<p>Mayor Daniella Levine Cava called Friday\u2019s numbers \u201cheartbreaking\u201d after more bodies were discovered overnight. This comes after the rescue operation transitioned into recovery efforts earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>Officials announced search teams have been recovering victims quicker since the rest of the building was demolished. Experts looking into the collapse stated there are a multitude of things that could have caused the collapse as they work to eliminate the possibilities one at a time.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">It\u2019s with profound sadness that tonight we transition our operation from search and rescue to search and recovery. <\/p>\n<p>May God bring peace to all whose hearts have been broken, and may He watch over our community in the hard days ahead. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EZgyaj78P1\">pic.twitter.com\/EZgyaj78P1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Daniella Levine Cava (@MayorDaniella) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MayorDaniella\/status\/1412935492115521542?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOnce we understand the trigger, we can be looking at how other things in the building, if they weren\u2019t done perfectly in either design or construction, how they might have impacted it,\u201d explained structural engineer Allyn Kilsheimer. \u201cMaybe something, if it would have been imperfect, part of the building wouldn\u2019t have come down. Maybe it didn\u2019t make any difference at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since the collapse last month, several Miami area buildings have been evacuated out of abundance of caution. Officials cited possible structural weaknesses and the county has launched a review of all high-rises over five stories.<\/p>\n<p>Officials expressed gratitude for response teams around the world as well as teams from around the country who have assisted in what Levine-Cava calls \u201cthe largest ever non-hurricane emergency response effort\u201d in the state\u2019s history. Cava also credited the diligent work of investigators in verifying all reports of those unaccounted for and working with the families to open missing persons reports.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/rep-massie-u-s-troops-say-they-will-quit-if-forced-to-vaccinate\/\">Rep.
