Miami tower collapse: Hopes for further rescues fading

From Morning Report, 7:33 am on 29 June 2021

The prospect of finding any more survivors in the rubble of the collapsed apartment building in Miami appears to be fading following a fruitless day for rescuers.

The painstaking process has uncovered one more body, taking the death toll to 10.

The number unaccounted for is 151 but officials say they haven't given up on what they admit would be a "miracle" discovery.

Florida governor Ron De Santis outlined the difficulties faced by a large rescue team totalling more than 400.

Miami correspondent Giles Gibson spoke to Susie Ferguson.
