After a condo tower falls, a Florida community erects a wall of the missing
SURFSIDE, Fla. — In the middle of the rubble, a plush Winnie-the-Pooh toy wearing a red shirt that read “Baby’s 1st Pooh Bear” lay on its side, wedged between jagged chunks of concrete and shards of metal.
A rescue worker searching through the debris of the Champlain Towers South for survivors picked it up and dusted it off. Later, a huddle of firefighters walked a block behind the collapsed 13-story condo, past the tennis courts that had turned into a makeshift base camp for rescue workers, to gently set the bear and other toys under a chain-link fence festooned with photos of those who remain under the debris.
