More Bodies Found In US Building Collapse As Search Enters Day Seven

While the official death count is only 12 after most of a building in the Miami-area town of Surfside suddenly pancaked early last Thursday, hopes are dwindling that the hundreds of rescuers combing the oceanfront site will find anyone alive.

More bodies were discovered overnight in the rubble of a collapsed apartment building in Florida, rescuers said Wednesday, as the search for the nearly 150 people unaccounted for entered its seventh day. While the official death count is only 12 after most of a building in the Miami-area town of Surfside suddenly pancaked early last Thursday, hopes are dwindling that the hundreds of rescuers combing the oceanfront site will find anyone alive. Colonel Golan Vach, head of an Israeli military unit that specializes in search and rescue operations, told CNN his team had found more bodies -- but added that no new death count would be disclosed until next of family were notified. Vach and other rescuers had found what he described as tunnels under the debris, and crawled through them looking for survivors.
