LEAVING SOON Members of the Israeli search and rescue team look at the rubble that once was Champlain Towers South during a prayer ceremony on July 11, 2021 in Surfside, Florida. The Israeli search and rescue team is heading home after an emotional sendoff in Surfside. Ron DeSantis said it was unclear whether flaws in the structure were unique to the building, its construction or maintenance. Also unclear were the implications of the collapse for new state regulations. The collapse occurred around 1:15 a.m. (2:15 p.m. in Manila) on June 24 at the Champlain Towers South condominium in the beachside town that sits around 9.6 kilometers north of Miami Beach.
