An oceanfront park is emerging as the leading site for a memorial to the victims of the deadly condominium building collapse in Florida, a judge said Wednesday. I understand this is a beautiful site that is within walking distance.”Still, some family members of collapse victims say they would prefer a fitting memorial at the exact location. “I believe the memorial should be at Surfside, and not Miami Beach, at the site of the tragedy,” said Pablo Langenfeld, whose daughter and son-in-law died in the collapse. The park is about 100 feet (30 meters) from the collapse site and was used as a command site for search and rescue teams. Investigators are still trying to determine what caused the 40-year-old building to collapse, which came years after initial warnings about serious structural flaws.
