Rubble from Surfside condo brought to grassy field in Miami-Dade

Miami-Dade County, Florida – The engineers are testing the concrete from the collapsed Surfside condo to figure out why the building came crashing down.

That’s why much of the concrete is being dumped in a grassy field 10 miles away from the site of the Champlain Towers South.

Dump trucks in groups of four, followed by a police escort, bring the debris to the grassy field near the Golden Glades.

Two badly damaged cars filled with concrete are sitting a few yards away.

The pile is mostly concrete, cinderblocks, and steel rebar. But it heartbreakingly also includes clothes and other personal belongings from the residents of the condo.

Police have not disclosed the location of the warehouse where they’re storing the other concrete debris for analysis.
