MIAMI - Search and rescue efforts continued in Miami after a 12-story condo building unexpectedly collapsed early Thursday morning leaving multiple people dead and several dozen unaccounted for.

Crews dug through the rubble in the days following the collapse, searching for any survivors who may be trapped underneath mounds of concrete and twisted metal.
