SURFSIDE, Fla. — Rescuers have recovered another four bodies in the wreckage of the Champlain Towers condominium collapse, bringing the total to nine dead and 156 still missing since the Surfside building collapsed early Thursday.

The new bodies were discovered along with "additional human remains" in a trench dug into the rubble to add search and rescue teams scouring the mountain of debris.

"We are making every effort to identify those others that have been recovered," Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava said in a Sunday morning news conference.

Late Saturday night, officials released the names of three more identified victims: Anthony Lozano, 83, and Gladys Lozano, 79, who lived in apartment 903, and Manuel LaFont, 54, who was in apartment 801.

1. Am I the only person who thinks it is very odd that after 4 days that they have only recovered 9 ...

...dead and no people alive and so many still missing?

I understand the circumstances are complicated and dangerous but it just seems very off that this much time and no bodies dead or alive. I cry for thinking about the people who may have survived and have now in last 72 hours died because of smoke inhalation, drowning with water and mud flow on them and from injuries. This is just beyond awful.

2. With the way the floors pancaked on top of one another there may not be much left to find

Those poor people never stood a chance.

4. It's horrible...

I fear you may be correct based on the way it pancaked. I just hope people then went quickly and didn’t suffer as I fear that many have. A quick death instead of prolonged agony , pain and suffering.

I still can’t believe how this building fell. It’s what you see in earthquakes in 3rd world countries. Not ever here in US. It looks like the building in OK City after Timothy Mcveigh bombed it.

3. I posted pretty much the same thing yesterday (n/t)

5. Right?

Think of all the tragedies and disasters globally over the decades from earthquakes and buildings collapsing and within hours and the first days there are dozens of people pulled out alive and yes, bodies. In this case it’s almost as if they don’t know what to do. The fact that they still call it rescue and not recovery is an insult.

9. I disagree. They know what they are doing, and they know

when they will announce a change. I think think it will be soon.

10. An "insult" to whom?

Many relatives still have hope. What a thing to say.

12. This isn't a coal mine. It is a flattened building without signs of life.

[Pachamama]

13. It's far worse to lie and give false hope to family and friends

Yes, that is an insult

6. And I think about all the pets, as well.

8. I remember the same feeling on 9/11/01

thinking, desperately hoping, they would find pockets of survivors......but they never did

[Sneederbunk]

11. No. Hopefully the announced assistance e of Mexico and Israel will show progress.
