After the authorities said they had reached the painful conclusion that there was “no chance of life” in the rubble of the Surfside Champlain Tann apartment complex, the arduous search for survivors shifted to recovery work at midnight on Wednesday.

After the workers demolished the rest of the building, the hope of finding the survivor briefly rekindled, allowing access to the new debris area. The voids where some survivors might be trapped do exist, mainly in basements and parking lots, but no one was found alive. Instead, the team found more than a dozen additional victims.
