Photographers Talk About Covering The Champlain Towers South Collapse in Surfside 

A friend of mine lost their mum in 9/11. She called me up crying when this happened and just kept saying “it’s happening again” over and over. I had no clue what she was talking about and I thought the world was ending honestly. It was only after she calmed down enough to form proper words that I found out and looked more into it. My heart goes out to all the victims of this horrific event.

I'm an owner of a condo unit in a 7 story building located in WI that was evacuated by the city in December due to threat of collapse because they feared another Surfside would happen. It's very hard for me to listen to the stories of the survivors who describe the moments when they were suddenly awakened and in automatic fear for their lives. I fully understand this glimpse into what they went through. By the grace of God our situation didn't end with people losing their lives - but I'm fully aware this could have been us.

I think that piece of land should be turned into a beautiful garden with trees flowers and fountains ....birds playing in the water ....just a peaceful place where families of the victims can visit and remember their loved ones in a beautiful environment. RIP 🤍🌸

As a photographer myself my heart goes out to these photographers as well ♥️

This was captivating and beautiful. It told a visceral human story, highlighted the importance of the imagery being captured and linked the work of the photographers in the field to the suffering and work of those directly involved so as not to steal focus from the latter. Thank you for sharing this, MH.

Hard to believe it has been a year

From Australia have watched this Terrible Tragedy from very Beginning.Would like to Thank All the Responders , Fire Brigades , Police and Ambulances that Delt with the Search for Survivers and 98 Adults and Children that Lost their Lives For Never Giving Up.So Very Sorry for People that Survived to what they went Thru and of the Familys of Loved Ones that were Lost.😇💗🦋👋⚘

Very impressed with the amount of grace & compassion shown by these photographers. 🙏💙

Omg when that made me sick to my stomach when I seen the building collapse on the video that was crazy and I still pray for the people that lost everything because the owner didn't keep the building up the code god bless to you all😭😭

This tragedy could have been avoided.😢

This breaks my heart still to think about. It is insane that in our county these things are happening more and more.

I think that who ever purchases this property has a change of mind and just says let's make it a memorial park where people can visit and sit. Mourn and spend time with others who lost their loved ones .

Sending love, light, prayers, & positive energy from KY 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜🙏

There were no children in the unit with bunk beds exposed. It was rented by a single lady.

Thank you for sharing and caring

They shouldn't build on the site again, rather put a rememberance memorial up.

What makes me angry is how they turned around and sold the STILL water logged property for a billion dollars. Sickening.

Very sad😢My Sincere Condelances to all the families

Hey great title of video, I'm glad there actually a video that refers to the building that collapsed by it name instead of just "surfside collapse"

💔😢🙏🏻💔😢🙏🏻💔

So sad

✝️🙏🏼🛐

All because of selfish greed and cover up!!! 😥

Let. Them. Rest. God. Bless. U. All. Let. Them. Rest. Now. And. Their. Free.

Their. Free. Now.

What's the odds Jeffrey lived there 🤔

Such a ridiculously cheap looking building. Look how thin the floors are.

I am from OKC and I think about the precious lives lost at Surfside often. Big hugs to those who survived and those who are missing their loved ones. 🫂

Let. Them. Be. Rest. In. Christ. They. Are. Asleep. No. More. Tears. Fears. Or. Pain. They. Belong. To. God. They. Are. Sleeping. In. Christ.
