18 people have died, 145 remain missing
US President Joe Biden has met mourning families and emergency workers in Florida, following the collapse of a Miami apartment block last week.
The 78 year-old praised the efforts of those searching through the wreckage.
18 people were killed in the collapse, 2 of which were children, with 145 people still missing.
Rescue work's been stopped at the site over concerns over the stability of the structure.
President Biden says it's heartbreaking:
