About half of an oceanside apartment tower in Surfside, Florida, collapsed early Thursday morning, prompting a massive search-and-rescue effort from Miami-Dade and Broward County first responders. "We're on the scene so it's still very active," said Surfside Police Sgt. Marian Cruz. "What I can tell you is the building is 12 floors. The entire back side of the building has collapsed." There is no official report of injuries or deaths, "but a firefighter on the scene could be heard saying there are multiple casualties," the Miami Herald reports.
