Amidst tragedy—when a 12-story oceanfront condo in Miami collapsed on the morning of Thursday, June 24—an act of heroism was shown when a badly injured mom pulled her daughter from the rubble.

Angela Gonzalez, 40, and her 16-year-old daughter, Devon, were on the ninth floor of the Surfside Chaplain Towers when the level they were on collapsed and together they fell four stories to the fifth floor.
