The remaining units of the Champlain Tower South building in Surfside, Florida, were demolished on Sunday night, CNN reported.
On Friday, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava authorized the demolition of the remaining units but said it would most likely take weeks.
Cava said officials would find a balance between searching for more victims in the rubble and demolition the remaining structure but on Saturday afternoon search efforts were paused so the remaining building could be demolished ahead of Tropical Storm Elsa.
Miami-Dade Assistant Fire Chief Raide Jadallah said the suspension of the search and rescue was a necessary safety measure since the remaining structure could collapse, the Associated Press reported.
So far 24 bodies have been recovered and more than 120 people are still unaccounted for.
Cava told CNN that search and rescue efforts will continue their efforts after the area is deemed safe.
