Audio?The stories coming out are so sad, especially the ones where the people were up and aware of the building starting to collapse. This lady saw the pool suddenly drop into a sinkhole and called her husband screaming before the line cut out.
Here's the article about her:

I'm not sure that'll ever be released to the public. Her husband said she told him the building was shaking, she saw the pool collapsing, she let out a blood-curdling scream and then the line cut out. Very quick and very horrific.
Tag me if it comes out, will rep
i wonder if they felt pain? or just a quick end

Guessing she must have been in the indoor pool area cause the one outside is still intact mostly.
Looks like a realtor just sold a property in that building on 6/17 for over $700K. Hopefully they didn't move in or was on the side that didn't fall.

EDIT: That property went down with the collapse.
damn. that down payment is gone...hopefully they hadn't moved in
I figure the sellers insurance would handle that. If it just sold I doubt it closed already.
if it's on Zillow it closed already. They get the info late. The seller is paid and the buyer is on the hook.

She has likely passed on. Her husband and sister say they are no longer holding out any hope for her.
It's basically turning into recovery right now with the initial collapse plus the fires and then storms that passed through and the heat...there is very little chance anyone is still alive in that debris I hate to say.
Pro tips for anyone buying a condo:
Request copies of the meeting minutes and review them. Stuff like this would have been in there.
Look at the financials and see how much their reserve account has.
Find out if they’ve ever had to do a special assessment or are planning on it.
Don’t buy anywhere where the majority of the community is offsite owners unless you plan on renting your condo.

If it closed meaning the deed is under the buyers name then yea they’re fukked but they should have insurance and will now be part of the lawsuit. Buyer may actually do OK as the lawsuit may pay them more than the cost of the property and they likely haven’t moved in yet so we’re not impacted by the collapse. Probably the only person who didn’t get fukked.
edit: thry may have already moved in?
Yea. Always have the sale conditional on seeing the condo docs. If the issues with the building were identified they would have been there. Up to the lawyer to go through that shyt.

This dude was lucky as hell, unit next to him was gone in the collapse.
Miami condo collapse survivor, 72, says he could hear his neighbors screaming 'Help me! Help me!' | Daily Mail Online
A Champlain Towers resident says when he first felt his bedroom shake last week, he thought he was dreaming about an earthquake, but soon he realized his nightmare was a reality filled with dust raining from the ceiling and his neighbors' desperate screams for help.
Steve Rosenthal, 72, was among some of the more fortunate tenants who were rescued when the 12-story condominium building in suburban Miami collapsed early Thursday morning, killing at least 10 people and leaving more than 150 others missing.
Rosenthal was asleep in his corner unit on the fourth floor of the apartment building in Surfside at around 1.30am on the morning of the disaster when he said he heard what he described as 'the loudest thunderclap times a hundred,' followed by violent shaking.
When dust began settling on Rosenthal, he realized that what he was experiencing was no dream and ran into the hallway.
'The ceiling’s down. Cement and rocks. People yelling and screaming, "Help me. Help me. Get me out. Get me out,"' Rosenthal recalled.
The collapse survivor said the apartment that was located right next to his crumbled.
'One unit over, and I’m gone, and I’m gone,' Rosenthal said.
Rosenthal ran back inside his apartment to change clothes and pack a few of his belongings. He then went onto his fourth-floor balcony, where he was rescued by firefighters via a ladder truck.
"The 40-year-old building came down just days before a deadline for condo owners to start making steep payments toward more than $9million in repairs that had been recommended nearly three years earlier, in a report that warned of 'major structural damage.'"
