Two more bodies have been found as rescue workers continue to dig through the mountain of rubble where the Champlain Condominium collapsed, bringing the death to to 18.

The two bodies found were identified as two children aged 4 and ten.

The building collapsed Thursday morning, trapping over 150 inside, of whom there is hope some may still have survived.

Teams from Hatzalah of South Florida, Chesed Shel Emes, and rescue teams from across the world continue to work to sift through the rubble in search of survivors.
