"gma" there on the red carpet with an exclusive look behind the scenes. the top talent up for the awards and the record number of performances coming your way tonight.

good morning, america. we begin with the heartbreaking news from surfside, florida. the death toll and that disaster and the building collapse climbing as rescue workers race against the clock to find people possibly still alive in the mountain of debris. more than 150 people still unaccounted for. >> and a number of challenges, crews overnight dealing with a fire deep in the wreckage, hampering their efforts to find any possible survivors in that collapsed 12-story apartment building. >> and just hours ago, the israeli home front command team arve in spo thei rponseecery efforts. we have live team coverage this moabc's victordo at the scene in orning. >> reporter:oo the resources continue pouring new teams helping and relieving those crews who have been working through the night, but again this morning, heavy downpours, a fire overnight, the way the mayor of surfside put it, they don't have a resources problem, they have a luck problem. overnight, a new fire breaking

out in the rubble as search and rescue teams desperately look for survivors, this as safety concerns grow for other apartment buildings nearby. some residents voluntarily evacuating. the death toll here in surfside, now at five. >> our search and rescue teams found another body in the rubble. and as well our search has revealed some human remains. the process of identifying these victims is very difficult. >> reporter: this claw carefully removing huge slabs of concrete, stopped, pausing the already slow process of clearing debris. >> the type of collapse that we had is the most difficult. so it is constant challenges that we're coming across. >> reporter: here is the shocking view of the building before, and after the collapse. more than half of it now a massive pile of rubble. florida task force six member sinead and her canine magnus have been on top of the pile. she says they can only stay up there for five to ten minutes of

the time because of the intense heat. do you still have hope of finding some survivors underneath all of that? >> yes. the hope is what's getting us through everything. obviously our skills and all that, that goes with it. but we are still -- we're doing our best that we can. >> we haven't heard sound for a while. and, again, when we say sounds, it's not, you know, distinct. it hasn't ever been distinct. just things that we hear so we focus on that area as we're doing our search. >> reporter: overnight, new details emerging about the plans for the mandatory 40-year recertification. the city of surfside releasing documents from 2018, stating the champlain tower south hired morabito consultants for the process and the remediation probable construction cost was $9.1 million. one inspection report filed with the city in 2018 claims that the entrance drive and pool deck of the building had failed waterproofing, which was causing major structural damage to the

concrete structural slab below these areas. however, engineers also filed another document with the city describing the overall concrete framing as being in good condition. experts say both the cost and type of repairs recommended are consistent with what you would expect for a building of this age and size. >> you could almost carbon copy this to any concrete frame building in south florida that is doing the repair program. every type of building that is constructed this way is going to have the exact same repairs. the orders of magnitude on repairs of the engineer has recommended are somewhat large. >> reporter: safety for nearby residents a priority. concerning images coming out of the east sister building too. >> there is something in the garage that was alerted to us through a resident there, he sent photographs of the structure and wanted us to evaluate the structure and i believe that's being done. >> what did the photographs show? >> they show significant chipping of the concrete on the columns. >> cracks? >> no. chunks.

>> reporter: and in a statement, the engineering firm saying in part that they were hired again in 2020 to provide specific renovation plans and at the time of the collapse, roof repairs were under way, but concrete restoration had not yet begun. the firm provides consulting services, not providing construction-related services, such as building repair and restoration contracting. there are still so many questions here on the ground. eva? >> a lot of questions still this morning. victor oquendo, thank you. now to friends and family of the missing, anxiously waiting for word on their loved ones and hope turning to anger and frustration as the days and hours tick by. stephanie ramos continues our coverage from surfside. good morning, stephanie. >> reporter: eva, good morning. officials are vowing to keep searching for the people who are missing as the families at the reunification center behind me become desperate for answers.

it's been four days since the side of this building collapsed. families and friends still holding out hope for the 156 loved ones lost among the rubble. near the site, a makeshift memorial growing. as of this morning, four victims have been identified. 54-year-old stacy fang, 54-year-old manuela font, 83-year-old antonio lozano and his wife, 79-year-old gladys. 71-year-old elaine sabino, a jetblue flight attendant staying with a friend in the penthouse of the collapsed building is still missing. this photo taken with her friend shelly from her 12th floor apatment. her friends remaining hopeful. >> time is not exactly on our side, but we have heard of miracles and we're looking and we're expecting and wishing and hoping for a miracle. >> reporter: arnie and merriam's family hoping for the same miracle. their grandson jake samuelson telling our abc affiliate wplg

his family is looking for answers about a set of voice mails, the home phone line has been leaving on his mom's line. 16 of them, static. the first came in the day the condo collapsed. >> we're just trying to rationalize what is happening here and we're just trying to get answers. >> reporter: pain, spilling into the streets outside the family reunification center. emotions running high at a briefing with florida governor ron desantis, friends and family demanding more be done. >> it is not enough. imagine if your children were in there. you are going to leave here and take a nice picture and i know you're doing everything you can, but it is not enough. you gave us a promise and you're not fulfilling it and you can fulfill it. >> reporter: the desperate search for survivors continues. fire hampering the rescue, the entire area smoldering and full of smoke. experts say belongings in the collapsed apartments possibly fueling the flames.

the search and recovery is slow, as workers need to inspect debris before they move it. >> we are still hopeful that we are going to be able to find someone in this pile, so we are definitely working as hard and as diligently as we can to make sure we do that. >> reporter: there are many people from latin america who were in the building collapse and their families abroad are waiting for answers. florida senator marco rubio tweeted they are working to approve emergency visas for people from over a dozen countries who have missing relatives here. whit? >> stephanie, thanks to you this morning. joining us is captain rolando busto. captain busto, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. your crews have been up against fire, the rain, the lightning, can you give us an update? have there been any new developments from overnight? >> i'm not really sure what's happened currently.

i can say that i know each and every member, each and every man and woman that is out there is doing the best that they possibly can to find survivors and to help mitigate the disaster that has happened. >> and we have been hearing this repeatedly, everyone holding on to hope, but are there still spaces within the rubble where someone could actually survive? days later, and have you seen any signs of life? >> so we're scouring every inch and every crack crevasse of the pile. we're hoping to find survivors, hope at this point is the only thing that we have to hold on to. we're going to do everything in our abilities and you will see -- and just like the mayor from surfside said, it is not a resource problem, it is a luck problem. there has been an immense response from 2:00 a.m. thursday morning until this current very second of those men and women doing everything that they possibly can for the community

and for the families of surfside. >> and we're looking at some of the video of those men and women putting their lives on the line. still, though, some of the families expressed their frustration about the flow of information and that perhaps more could be done. what is your message to them this morning? >> my message is keep hope alive. i can guarantee you, i've been a part of this community for the last ten years, this has been what we practice, what we train for. we are doing everything possible. is the response from miami-dade was incredible. i was there shortly at 3:30 a.m. and was put immediately to work to search for -- with our dogs. my good friend frank garcia was one of the first canines on scene and was on that rubble pile working and trying to find survivors. i know at times from the outside looking in it doesn't look like much is going on, but i can guarantee you with every ounce of my body that everything is being done and coordinated to

try and find survivors. the only way that i look at this as being an ideal response is if we can account and find every member that is missing alive, rebuild that building, and give back every resource, every piece of clothing, every photo that was missing and get those people back to a normal life. but i know that that's not going to happen. and i simply reside on the fact that we are doing everything. those men and women that are out there are relentless, they are trained to do this. it is a specialized group. the response from the community has been incredible. and i would just say please keep hope alive. we are doing our very best and nothing short of that. >> and, captain, i know your dog guinness there, part of that search effort as well. that's all the time we have for this morning. captain busto, thank you so much to you and your crew and everything that you're doing out there trying to help out and

those families. we appreciate your time this morning. dan, over to you. we're going to turn now to the latest on a hot air balloon accident in new mexico. the balloon hit some power lines and crashed to the ground. sadly no survivors. zohreen shah is live with more on this. good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning, dan. it was a horrific scene out here. overnight, officials releasing some of the names of those on board, beloved members of this community, all of this as they piece together what triggered the deadliest hot air balloon accident in this country in the last five years. >> the balloon just hit the electrical pole and blew up. albuquerque officials trying to determine how this hot air balloon came crashing to the ground. >> we have a fire where i believe a hot air balloon crash over at central and unser. >> reporter: all five people on board killed.

>> they're on that side. >> reporter: eyewitness josh perez as this gondola hit a power line, catching fire, hitting the roadway. >> the balloon just fell off, you guys. it hit an electrical pole. >> this is a big part of albuquerque, the balloons are known for new mexico, especially. and it hurts. >> reporter: bystanders rushing to help after the basket hit the ground, one using a fire extinguisher to put out the flames. >> careful, guys. that propane will go. >> reporter: the balloon itself floating in the sky, landing a mile away on a house. all the victims are from central new mexico, including 59-year-old martin martinez, a former albuquerque police officer, and his 62-year-old wife mary martinez. >> we did have to send a number of officers home because they were little bit disturbed from what had occurred and it took its toll on them. >> reporter: the ntsb now joining the faa and local

officials to piece together how this happened. >> the questions here are this hot air balloon hit a power line, about 100 feet in the air. so why was it so low? what were the winds at th time? what was the visibility at the time? >> reporter: officials here in albuquerque say when these winds pick up, those balloons become incredibly hard to navigate. they are still working to determine that big question of how this happened. eva? >> zohreen, thank you. a man is recovering this morning after a frightening shark attack. the 39-year-old man was body surfing in the waters off san mateo county, california, when a great white shark bit his right leg. o was able to now to the coronavirus emncand er ts variant. hospitalizations on the rise in several states, where vaccination rates are lagging.

elwyn lopez has more. >> reporter: hey, whit. good morning. while overall, new covid cases are dropping, the opposite is happening in several states with vaccination rates below the national average. hospitalizations in arizona, arkansas, nevada are all up by nearly 20% or more. and that more contagious strain of the virus is tightening its grip around the world, the uk hitting a record number of new cases since february. that delta variant accounting for nearly all of those. in australia, sydney, the country's largest city, now under a two-week lockdown as cases tick back up. here at home, new york, once the epicenter of the pandemic, now roaring back, broadway reopening overnight with the boss, bruce springsteen's show back at it. it was a packed house at the theater with the vaccinated crowd. the virus still turning the world of sports upside down. this time, the college world series, north carolina state season, was cut short due to covid-19 protocols. the ncaa says the decision was

made based on recommendations from the championship medical team and the local health department saying they don't add any more details due to privacy issues. >> elwyn lopez in laeatlanta, tk you. johnson & johnson is getting out of the opioid business as part of a $230 million settlement with the state of new york. the company has agreed to stop selling opioid products nationwide. the deal comes days before the opening of the largest opioid trial to date in which j&j was set to be one of several defendants. switching gears now, time for a check of our weather. rob marciano joining us from portland, oregon, where the extreme heat is reaching historic levels. it is going to be another hot one. hey, rob. >> hey, good morning, eva. we shattered the record yesterday reaching 108 degrees here in portland. measured in the shade, never before have we recorded a temperature that warm here, and unfortunately with this heat wave, we're just getting started. >> reporter: this morning, an unprecedented heat wave expanding across the west.

>> unfortunately we're starting to see this year after year. it is getting hotter and hotter. >> reporter: the pacific northwest experiencing life threatening temperatures. seven states in the heat wave. 33 million people under heat alerts. some all-time records likely to fall. >> to have such hot temperatures in june is historical. we haven't had anything like that. >> reporter: seattle and portland could see temperatures up to 30 degrees above normal. hydration is key in the heat, especially for those who live on the street. this county has 80,000 bottles of water now being delivered to those in need. >> the windows are opened overnight to let cool window in and close them midmorning and draw the drapes. >> reporter: many are asking if climate change is to blame. it is not just weather stats. it is our human health. >> as a public health official, are you worried about what climate change may be doing to public health? >> absolutely. this last year has really felt like an acceleration of all of the effects of climate change. covid included. so many of my colleagues who are

experts in environmental health say we thought we had another decade before we would find ourselves in situations like this and yet here we are. >> reporter: it is a reminder that heat is the number one weather-related killer. the duration and the intensity of this heat wave has a very strong link obviously to climate change. take a look at some of these numbers. you mentioned the portland number broken at 108, redding, 113, hillsboro, 106, and olympia, washington. these are in the puget sound, where numbers are usually in the 50s. very high risk, that pink area pthis is where the dangerous stuff is. yakima, portland, and wide area of red. as far as how long this is going to last, that's strong upper level high. this is huge high levels and blocking patterns. they'll be here tomorrow.

and welcome back to "gma" on this sunday morning. we're taking a look at the scene in surfside, florida, as crews search amidst the wreckage of the 12-story condo building which collapsed four days ago now. >> and the search for loved ones just as intense as the search for answers in all of this into how this tragedy happened. let's go back to abc's victor oquendo at the scene. good morning once again. >> reporter: whit, good morning. officials making it very clear, this is still a search and rescue operation. the resources and reinforcements continue pouring in here, but they're facing some brutal conditions. again, this morning, heavy downpours and overnight another fire flaring up. we're also learning new details about the building's 40-year recertification plans.

documents released by the city of surfside listing the estimated cost of the project at $9.1 million, a lot of that money going towards the garage entrance and the pool deck. but experts tell us the cost and the type of repairs recommended are consistent with what you would expect for a building of this age and size. and there are also concerning images coming out of the champlain tower east, the sister building. the vice mayor telling us she has seen photographs showing significant chunks missing from concrete columns, a structural engineer has been sent to inspect the building and we know that some have evacuated voluntarily. look, even though miami is a major city with more than 150 still unaccounted for, it seems like everyone i've spoken with knows someone who has been impacted by this tragedy. guys? >> victor oquendo for us there, so many people waiting on loved ones who are still missing, trying to stay positive this morning. joining us right now is leah soto of surfside. i understand you are waiting to

hear about two of your friends who lived in that building. >> hi, eva. thank you for having me. i am waiting to hear about a couple of my friends, one of them nicky and her fiance luis, and we haven't heard from them since. we're hoping for the best. nicky was a beautiful, beautiful person. i knew her from high school. i grew up with her and it was just -- it is tough to hear the news and hear how personal it is and how affected i was by it. >> have you been to the apartment building lately or had your friends mentioned anything concerning about its condition recently? >> no, i know she had actually moved in there recently and like i said she was -- she just had her bachelorette party, just about to get married. her whole life was ahead and it was starting in that apartment. they were going to start together a family. it is incredibly tough to think about all the lives that were cut way too short and the generations that followed that were cut short. >> all the dreams that they had planned in that apartment together.

you set up a spot where people are placing pictures of loved ones. what inspired you to do this? >> so that idea was born out of exasperation and desperation. i felt very useless. i know they weren't accepting food donations, they were at capacity. i wanted to provide emotional support to the community. i felt like the way to do that was by giving people a place where they can come together, grieve together, see the pictures on that wall and then, you know, realize that people lost their lives, people are going to suffer. this community is not the same it was three days ago and we have to grow together as a community and, you know, learn from it. >> i know police have expanded the area that they are now taking over as the search continues to grow. they're moving those pictures from that fence that we just saw to a different location. where are they moving it to now? >> so i wish i would know about the new location. yesterday unfortunately i found out -- i was heartbroken to hear that we weren't going to have

any more access to that memorial location. i felt like that was pivotal, almost -- it is an important part of how the community was grieving and coming together. the reunification center is a place where a lot of questions get asked, a lot of anger and distrust happens. where the memorial was, it was a place for love, a place for comfort, a place for trying to move on. i hope we can work with the mayor of surfside and mayor of miami to find another location or to have that location opened up. i feel it is extremely necessary at this point when the community is still grieving and a lot of grieving to be done. >> just to see all of those faces of the pictures of people who are still missing, leo, thank you for being with us this morning. and we hope that you get some good news about your friends. >> indeed. indeed. let's switch it up now and talk weather. we have a heat emergency going on in the pacific northwest. and rob is right there on the ground in portland, oregon. rob, what are you seeing and hearing? >> good morning again, dan. we're expecting to break another all-time record today, and tomorrow will likely be no

different. the rainy season here is pretty much done. it comes from october to the middle of june typically, and now that rain is unfortunately in the midwest. they've got too much of it at any one time. anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of rain falling, and in kansas and illinois and michigan, detroit really got hit hard yesterday morning. we were talking about it then, and these rare the pictures. completely submerged cars on the interstate there. look at that dump truck almost completely buried in water as well. the tractor trailers completely swamped. they declared a state of emergency yesterday because of that rainfall. it will lighten up a little bit today, but we have flash flood warnings for parts of kansas. kansas city, missouri, and back through texas where we had winds gusting over 80 miles an hour in some spots. severe weather yesterday, and heavy rain, and flash flood watches remain up because we could see another three to five inches of rainfall.

[female narrator]

back now on "gma" with president biden trying to walk back comments that some fear could jeopardize a bipartisan infrastructure deal. abc white house correspondent maryalice parks joins with us that and donald trump's latest appearance overnight. good morning, maryalice. >> reporter: good morning, eva. the white house is in cleanup mode this weekend. last week president biden seemed to suggest that he did not want

to sign that bipartisan infrastructure deal unless democrats also got him a budget bill at the same time to pay for some of his other spending priorities around healthcare and education. well, yesterday, the president tried to walk some of that back, issuing a new statement that said he didn't mean to give the impression he was issuing a veto threat, but, look, the president is clearly worried that he might have jeopardized a deal that he helped negotiate because republicans are more and more hesitant about signing on to this compromise deal. and, yeah, last night, former president trump was kicking off basically a revenge tour. he was out holding a campaign rally in ohio, for a former aide of his that is running to unseat an incumbent republican, anthony gonzalez. gonzalez was one of those house republicans that voted to impeach former president trump after the violent siege on january 6th. here's a moment from that rally last night. >> anthony gonzalez, bad news. he's a grandstanding rhino, not

respected in d.c., who voted for the unhinged, unconstitutional, illegal impeachment witch-hunt, the witch-hunt. >> reporter: now, despite all of the court cases and recounts and bipartisan investigations that found no election fraud, former president trump continued with his lie last night that he somehow did not just lose in november, at one point he even had the crowd chanting trump won. dan? >> maryalice, thank you. let's bring in abc news political director, deputy political director avery harper. avery, good morning to you. so how do you think the gop generally is going to react if trump keeps attacking fellow republicans. are they going to allow this to continue? >> well, this is far from the first time that we have seen the former president attack members of his own party. especially those that he does not consider loyal enough to him.

for most part, we have seen a republican party fall in line and so i think we can expect to see more of that. we see the president putting his foot on the scales for candidates who are continuing the push those false claims about the 2020 election, and midterms will be the really big tell. how powerful is an endorse from the former president when he himself is not on the ballot. >> continues to have an enormous amount of power within the republican party. let's look back, though, to the current president, how much damage do you think he did through his comment on that infrastructure bill, the comment that he is now trying to walk back? >> well, listen, we know that the president is prone to gaffes when he goes off script. the fact is negotiations have been incredibly sensitive. so until he signs that bipartisan infrastructure deal into law, everything he says about it matters. so we're seeing the white house walk back those comments. the president himself in a statement this morning, but i

would argue that the biggest concern that the white house needs to have is not the comments, but the fact a there are lawmakers on both sides of the aisle that are considering opposing it. democrats because they feel like it doesn't go far enough and republicans because they know a second quote/unquote human infrastructure deal is supposed to be on the way. we'll see what happens. >> it is delicate, has been and will continue to be. avery, thanks so much. appreciate you coming on on a sunday morning. i want to remind everybody to tune into "this week" later this morning. jon karl has an exclusive interview with bipartisan infrastructure negotiators, senators joe manchin and rob portman. plus, another exclusive with minnesota attorney general keith ellison following the sentencing of derek chauvin for the murder of george floyd. we'll be right back with "pop news" live from the b.e.t. awards coming up.
