Officials said Tuesday that instead of beginning a demolition, they're now working to determine the best way to conduct another search, noting that the building is unstable and continues to worsen as time progresses. Over 150 personnel took part in "extensive rescue operations," using thermal imaging, drones and a team of service dogs in an attempt to locate victims within the structure, according to city officials.
A crowd of people gathered at the site on Monday, calling for "accountability" and pleading with officials to postpone demolition because they believed more survivors could be inside. "The city does have a plan," she said. "Ryan wouldn't want anyone else to put their lives at risk to [help], unfortunately, somebody who probably has not survived."
