A condo tower partially collapsed on Thursday just north of the US city of Miami Beach in the southeastern state of Florida. Ten people are confirmed dead so far and more than 150 are unaccounted for. The search for the missing underneath the rubble prompted a massive search and rescue effort, according to the Miami Herald news outlet.
