A massive rescue operation is underway after a apartment building close to Miami Beach collapsed in the early hours of this morning. The building, an apartment complex called Champlain Towers South, has partially collapsed, fire rescue services have confirmed. It is not yet known what caused the condo building, located near 88th street and Collins Avenue in Surfside, Florida, to collapse. There are fears that many people may be dead or remain trapped beneath the rubble at Champlain Towers South following the collapse. One witness, who was on staying in the south Florida island city with his family, said he believed the building was occupied. He was in a neighbouring building at the time and said the collapse sounded and felt like a tornado or earthquake, Fox News reported. He told the publication: 'It was the craziest thing I ever heard in my life.' A boy is pulled from the rubble of the building, right.
