The rest of the building that collapsed in Florida on June 24, leaving 24 dead and 121 missing, was demolished on the night of Sunday 4 to Monday 5 July by means of a controlled explosion, according to television images.

Authorities have decided to destroy these unstable remains of the twelve-story building for fear that they will collapse uncontrollably during the passage of tropical storm Elsa, expected Tuesday in Florida.
