159 Remain Missing After Collapse Of Apartment Building In Florida
It comes after it was revealed that an engineer warned three years ago about a fault in the construction of the building
It prevented water draining away from the base of the structure.
Florida Governor, Ron DiSantis, says a fire spreading through the rubble is hampering the search for survivors:
"Pray for the folks who were impacted, either directly, or their families. It's a really really difficult time. Right now you wake up in the morning hoping that more and more people were pulled out and that news just hasn't been what we had hoped."
