Episode 12: ‘The lives lived and lost.’ Honoring the victims of Surfside condo collapse

Episode 12: The Lives Lived and Lost

On the morning of the Champlain Towers South collapse, at an emergency editorial meeting, before they even knew the scale of the loss, the editors at the Miami Herald made a commitment: to not just record the deaths, but to paint in words a full and lasting portrait of the lives lived by everyone who died in this unthinkable tragedy.

In the 12th and final episode of “Collapse: Disaster in Surfside,” we honor the memory of the victims of one of the worst structural failures in history, and hear from the editors and writers who carefully compiled 98 life stories, as well as the life story of the community of Champlain Towers South, which vanished in an instant.

Episode 12: of Collapse: Disaster in Surfside, a new podcast from Miami Herald/Treefort Media, takes listeners inside how the Herald honored the victims of this deadly disaster.
