In an aerial view, a cleared lot where the 12-story Champlain Towers South condo building once stood is seen on June 22, 2022, in Surfside, Fla. It had been a year since the tragic event where 98 people died when the building partially collapsed on June 24, 2021.

Investigators with the National Institute of Standards and Technology will begin testing concrete cores and reinforcing steel in a search for answers from the Surfside, Fla., condo collapse.
