we’re going in the right direction. But back after the week. And L. all right thank
you Luke we have officials now
say they will demolish what’s
left of the Champlain tower
South and it comes Elsa remains
top of mind for rescuers of
attends Christian dela Rosa.
Has the story live in six. You
know we were here last night
when the mayor left a lot of
people with a lot of questions
when she initially decided.
That the demolition wouldn’t
take place until after the
potential impact of the storm.
A lot has changed since then of
course. And earlier today she
explained the about face. And
we can not. Moved as swiftly to
demolish this building it
cannot be before the storm and
adamant Miami Dade County mayor
Daniela Levine Cobb I just last
night stressing demolition of
the remaining portion of
Champlain tower South. Would
not happen anytime soon but
over night and about face combo
has experts that were telling
her yesterday. That it would be
weeks before we could do it-
the governor and I sat in a
meeting and it was obvious that
the building was a problem. And
we agreed that- the only
solution for that problem was
to eliminate it. It we voice
those concerns to mayor kava
officials say a new engineer
firm was consulted and is now
working on a plan to bring the
building down before a
potential impact of the storm.
That resource was brought to us
it was not known at the time.
And the emphasize something
here we are working together.
The stakes the federal the
local we are communicating
every step of the way when we
spoke at the press event that
was the best information that
we all had. And speaking of
presidents were actually
standing by for another News
briefing schedule for just
moments from now at which point
we hope to learn more of the
planning of this demolition how
exactly it’s going to go down.
We do expect it to happen
again- sometime before the
potential impact of the storm
also hoping to learn more
about- the potential effects-
that it will have on the work
that’s being done mayor comma
stressed that it should not
affect. The parts of the rubble
that search and rescue teams
have been working for the parts
of the collapse that they have
yet to get to also important is
to protect the evidence. That
lives in that rubble as we talk
about the investigation into
what caused. The collapse and
of course any relevant details
were we will bring them to you.
As soon as we get. Back to you.
Question it seems that
information is changing by the
day really at this point we’re
still waiting on this press
conference any indication of.
The time frame how long will it
take if it is done tomorrow
morning like they’re saying.
How long will it take a look
and residents in that area
expect. Well that’s a great
question it was actually pose
during a briefing this morning
governor Ron the Santa said he
expects system this demolition
to happen. Sometime within the
next thirty six hours and part
of the planning that’s going on
as we speak is you know
answering questions as to
whether people that live in the
area I should. Leave the area
of course making sure this
demolition happens as safely as
possible for the residents of
the area and of course the
parts of the rubble where the
search and rescue teams are at.
And trying to limit. The amount
of time that teams will have to
leave. The rubble and depositor
search as is demolition takes
place but what we’re learning
is that it will definitely
happen sometime within the next
thirty six hours but of course
as you said. As more
information comes in the
situation is fluid plans are
changing and so we expect to
get the very latest on that.
Coming up I just within the
next hour fifteen minutes.
Thank you so much Christian
information changing thanks
