El 24 de junio de 2021 el ala este de la torre Champlain
Sur, un edificio de trece pisos en la avenida Collins de Miami Beach, colapsó
en plena noche de luna llena, provocando, en apenas segundos, la destrucción de
más de ochenta departamentos.
Noventa y ocho personas murieron bajo los escombros. Había
llegado la hora final de un edificio construido en 1981, en una Miami dominada
por el narcotráfico, el dinero negro y la corrupción. ¿Quiénes estaban
allí esa noche fatal? ¿Cuáles eran sus historias? ¿Temían los residentes de
Champlain Sur que algo malo pasara? ¿Cómo se vivieron esos instantes de
terror?
Con el colapso, se vino abajo un microcosmos que congregaba
diversas nacionalidades, idiomas y culturas. Entre los residentes del edificio
aquella noche fatal había parientes y familiares de siete presidentes o
expresidentes en Sudamérica.
En esta extraordinaria narración Juan Manuel Robles explora
esta tragedia con su usual rigor periodístico para el detalle, revelando las
historias de muchos de sus protagonistas: víctimas, sobrevivientes,
residentes que se salvaron y rescatistas. Como trozos de concreto que se
rearman, cada capítulo va completando, con sus esplendores y miserias, la vista
panorámica de un hermoso edificio que parece un modelo a escala de la llamada
Ciudad Mágica.
On June 24, 2021, the east wing of the Champlain South Tower, a thirteen-story building on
Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, collapsed on a night of a full moon, destroying
more than eighty apartments in seconds.
Ninety-eight people died under the rubble. The final hour had come for a building built in
1981, in a Miami dominated by drug trafficking, black money and corruption. Who
were there that fatal night? What were their stories? Were the residents of
Champlain South afraid that something bad might happen? How did they experience
those moments of terror?
With the collapse, a microcosm of diverse nationalities, languages and cultures came
crashing down. Among the residents of the building that fateful night were
relatives and family members of seven presidents or former presidents in South
America.
In this extraordinary narrative Juan Manuel Robles explores this tragedy with his usual
journalistic rigor for detail, revealing the stories of many of its
protagonists: victims, survivors, residents who were saved and rescuers.
Like pieces of concrete that rearrange themselves, each chapter completes, with
its splendors and miseries, the panoramic view of a beautiful building that
looks like a scale model of the so-called Magic City.
