Surfside remembers victims of condo collapse on 2-year anniversary.
TL;DR
Family members of the victims of the Champlain Towers South collapse gathered at Veterans Park in Surfside to mark the two-year anniversary of the tragedy. A torch was lit near the site and the names of all 98 victims were read aloud. The investigation into the cause of the collapse is ongoing, but a preliminary report identified a severe strength deficiency in the building's pool deck. The site has been sold to a billionaire developer who plans to build a new tower, but some victims' families are pushing for a permanent memorial on the site. Town officials are considering a memorial on public land adjacent to the property.
