Biden says he hopes to visit Florida condo collapse site this week
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Joe Biden says he hopes to visit the site of a deadly apartment block collapse in southern Florida this week, as rescuers scour the wreckage in the increasingly desperate search for survivors.
Asked by reporters at the White House if he is planning to make the trip to Surfside, near Miami, Biden replies: “Yes, I hope so.”
He adds: “As soon as we can. Maybe as early as Thursday.”
The death toll from last Thursday’s collapse of the oceanfront apartment building stands at 11, with 150 still unaccounted for, leaving desperate families fearing the worst.
