Miami-Dade deleted critical audio files from Surfside collapse search-and-rescue effort
A Miami-Dade County employee deleted critical audio files chronicling the search-and-rescue effort of the first frantic hours of the Surfside condo collapse, one of the deadliest building disasters in U.S. history, a USA TODAY investigation found.
The audio included communications that Miami-Dade Fire Rescue tactical teams had with central dispatchers as they searched for survivors in the immediate aftermath of the disaster that struck the Champlain Towers South condominium at 1:23 a.m. on June 24.
In all, hundreds of hours of communication from two different radio channels – some of which described in heart-wrenching detail how first responders tried to locate and save victims – were supposed to be recorded and preserved for the public record.
Nearly two months later, more than 23 hours of those recordings were erased.
