The partially collapsed condo in Surfside, Florida, was demolished late Sunday night, as a shelter in place zone for surrounding residents was in effect.
A series of rapid-fire explosions could be heard coming from the tower just moments before it teetered and crumbled to the ground.
The decision to demolish Champlain Towers South on Sunday came as officials in charge of the search and rescue in the rubble feared the structure could collapse as Tropical Storm Elsa brings strong winds to south Florida. It also paves the way for possible recovery — even rescue — efforts.
