Rescue crews pray at site of Fla. condo collapse
Officials and rescue workers held a moment of silence and said prayers at the site of the collapsed condominium building in Florida after officials said they had given up hope of finding any survivors.
At a memorial near the site, a banner reading "Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Mourns With You" was hung on a chain-link fence.
Authorities told sobbing families Wednesday that there was "no chance of life" in the rubble.
Eight more bodies were recovered, bringing the death toll to 54, with 86 people unaccounted for.
