Authorities said 156 people remain unaccounted for in the deadly Thursday morning collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, about 5 miles north of Miami.

Including the four identified victims, authorities have accounted for 130 people who lived in the section of the building that gave way.

The Lozanos’ son, Sergio, lived in a nearby building and heard the collapse around 1:30 a.m. Thursday before looking out to see his parents’ apartment had disappeared, local ABC affiliate WPLG reported. Sergio said his parents would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary on July 21.
