Independent investigator says still no answers on Surfside condo collapse

A visit today to the former site of the Champlain Towers South condominium along Surfside’s oceanfront reveals branches of rusted metal piercing the concrete. While hoses, rain puddles, water pumps, and construction cones border what appear to be the final remaining pieces of a structure that once was. From a distance, a fence wrapped in a tarp surrounds the site’s perimeter and the few artificial flowers that hang in the metal remind us this was the site where nearly 100 lives were lost on a summer night in 2021.
