BREAKING UPDATE: Miami-Dade mayor says 159 people are unaccounted for, and at least 4 are dead, following Thursday's high-rise collapse near Miami Beach.

"The TV doesn’t do it justice," he said."It is really, really dramatic to see the collapse of a major structure like that."

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said Thursday afternoon that"they've got resources like you can't believe here." In addition to the fatality, which was confirmed by Miami-Dade Police, at least 10 people were treated for injuries at the scene, Burkett said. In an interview with NBC's"TODAY" show, Burkett said: “It’s hard to imagine how this could happen. Buildings just don’t fall down.”

How many injured? Same with all the mass shootings. The toll of the devastation isn't reported. Many people survive these incidents but are forever wounded. My deepest condolences to these families. Can't even begin to imagine the sorrow all those affected are going through💔

How nervous would you be if you lived in a Condo next to the collapsed Condominium?

This is going to be really bad numbers wise. I can’t imagine the pain these families and friends are going through. 🙏.
