Deadly Surfside condo collapse likely started from pool deck, officials find

Federal investigators said Tuesday that the 2021 collapse of the Surfside, Florida, condo building that killed dozens of people stemmed from a structural failure in the pool deck and not the tower itself. The finding is included in a study from the National Institute of Standards and Technology on the partial collapse of the Champlain Towers South. Ninety-eight people were killed when the building fell early June 24, 2021.
