https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Condo-search-grows-dire-with-159-still-16275808.phpSURFSIDE, Fla. (AP) Rescue crews found another body in the rubble of a collapsed 12-story condominium tower near Miami on Saturday, raising the death toll to five as they raced to recover any survivors while fighting back fire and smoke deep inside the concrete and metal remains.
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava announced the heightened toll at an evening news briefing, saying the identification of three bodies had dropped the number of unaccounted for down to 156. She said crews also discovered other unspecified human remains.

You cannot rush and possibly kill more victims or rescue/recovery crews. This is a very difficult situation. Like 911, Many of the remains will just be small fragments of people that will have to be identified by DNA.
