About 160 people were still unaccounted for Friday after the wing of a condo building near Miami collapsed early Thursday, killing at least four people and prompting a massive rescue effort in which dozens were pulled from the rubble.

Firefighters worked overnight to comb through the wreckage in hopes of finding survivors. Officials feared the death toll could increase significantly.
