Surfside condo collapse 5th anniversary – NBC 6 South Florida
Summary
Premises Surfside Florida in Surfside, Florida: Five years after 98 people lost their lives after the Champlain Towers South building in Surfside collapsed, the town hosted remembrance events to honor the victims and show support for survivors. Federal investigators from NIST released technical findings explaining that the collapse began in early June 2021 when two connections between garage columns and the pool deck failed, ultimately leading to the larger collapse at 1:22 a.m. on June 24, 2026. The southern pool deck edge became unseated from a supporting wall, causing a slab to sag and break away from the middle tower face. Vibrations from nearby construction, foundation failure, sinkholes, and storm surge effects were ruled out as causes.
