One of the eyewitnesses, Michael Ruiz, told CNN:

"It was something like 11/XNUMX"

"Screams can be heard from the rubble," said another eyewitness near the site of the disaster, Bild reported.

Authorities in South Florida were immediately mobilized when they were informed of the partial collapse of the building.

At present, the causes of the collapse remain unknown.

The building, a 12-story apartment building called "Champlain Towers South," is located near 88th Street and Collis Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida.
