Good evening at the dimming of another rough day here in Surfside. We are waiting for late

word from officials on the state of search rescue and recovery operations. We expect a

press briefing to happen any moment now. We were going to bring that to you live. Already

though the news has been difficult today. We saw the number of people unaccounted for

and potentially trapped or lost in the rubble of shampoom tower which is right behind me

just over there. You can see the smoke. That number rose sharply. The news only adding

urgency for rescue teams already who are working nonstop and have been throughout the

night. It is however the most delicate job imaginable under the toughest conceivable conditions

where even one wrong move could cost lives or maybe saving lives even making it harder

to save lives than it already is. These first responders are going in through tunnels.

They're working from the top. They're working from the bottom. It has to be done very, very

carefully. Debris falling on them as they do their work. We have structural engineers

on site to assure that they will not be injured but they are proceeding because they are

so motivated. As she said, debris is falling on them as they try to rescue others as they

search for those who are trapped somewhere in that rubble. The weather, complicating efforts,

draining weather as you heard. They've also had to contend with fires breaking out on

site. You can see the in the shot on the side of me. On the left side of me I believe it

is just the smoke coming off the rubble of this building and it permeates this whole area

as they search for what could be as many as 159 people not yet accounted for. They can

be sure of exactly who is in the building at that moment. They're trying to trace as many

vehicles that are in the garage as possible thinking that will give them an indication

of well if somebody's car is in the garage as a good chance they were in the building.
