Last Thursday, the incident of the Miami building collapse has shaken the public and media and the anguished families are still waiting for information about their loved ones.

Most of them are missing or dead or might have been stuck under the pile of destruction. However, the families have nothing to do wait for some hope.

Only nine people have been confirmed as dead and most of them are missing. The missing number has risen to 152.

The searching process of survivors has become very slow due to the sweltering heat and high humidity. It gets almost impossible to get through the rubble for long. It’s bad news since it confirms lesser chances of survival.

Even though the relative called on for a meeting with the authority, it does seem anything to improve.

“It’s not enough. Imagine if your children were in there,” one mother told.

Antonio Lozano, 83, and his wife Gladys, 79, are among those confirmed dead after their son Sergio Lozano gave officials a DNA sample. This old couple has been living together for more than sixty years and was about to celebrate their 59th anniversary.

Their son told the reporters with comfort in the knowledge that they “went together and went quickly”.

Manuel LaFont, 54, a man died on the eighth floor. He was having a great time on that day with his children. However, just a few hours before the collapse, his ex-wife took the children. The conflicts between them saved the children.

Stacie Fang faced something similar with her 15-year-old son getting out alive from the rubble but she could not survive.

They said, “There are no words to describe the tragic loss of our beloved Stacie.”

Among those missing is Bhavna Patel, a 38-year-old British and US citizen, her husband Vishal Patel, 42, and their one-year-old daughter, Aishani. It is heard that Bhavna was also pregnant at the moment.

Vishal’s cousin Robin said, “Aishani had just started to grow her first set of bottom teeth, her preference for teething was actually the stick from a xylophone toy. And Bhavna was pregnant so we were talking about that and arranging a family reunion.”

The sister of Paraguay’s first lady, Silvana López Moreira, is yet to be found.

Her mother, Juana de Villalba, told media in Paraguay: “She’s the primary breadwinner of our family and she went to Miami for work. She went for us. My heart is broken”.

Michael Noreiga told about his 92-year-old grandmother, “She is probably the most popular person that I know – tonnes of friends. She lives for her faith first, her family second and her friends third and she is so full of life, especially for her family,” to the CNN.

“The hardest thing has been seeing the devastation of my 12-year-old daughter, she is very close to her father,” said Soraya Cohen, wife of Brad. Brad has died too.

The horror continues with more death news.
