Rescuers resumed searching for victims on Monday after a demolition crew set off a string of explosives that brought down the remaining structures of the collapsed condo in Surfside, Florida, on Sunday night.

Explosives were set off at 10:30 p.m. ET at Champlain Towers South in a controlled operation that officials say will aid search and rescue efforts for the remaining 121 victims still missing following the June 24 collapse.
