 A massive rescue operation is underway in Surfside, Florida, near Miami Beach following the partial collapse of a 12-story apartment building early Thursday that killed at least one person and hospitalized eight.

It was unclear whether others remained trapped as emergency crews continued searching the rubble. The cause of the disaster wasn’t immediately determined. Images showed large sections of the 136-unit oceanside Champlain Towers South, which was reportedly built in 1981, in ruins on the ground.
