Florida officials are working on plans to demolish what's left of a partially collapsed oceanfront condominium building.

The plans were revealed Thursday after concerns about the structure's instability prompted a 15-hour halt to the search for survivors.

A specialist with the Federal Emergency Management Agency says it will likely be weeks before the demolition is scheduled.

On Friday, authorities announced the recovery of two more bodies, including the 7-year-old daughter of a Miami firefighter.

That raised the death toll to 20 people, with 128 still missing.

No one has been rescued since the first hours after the collapse of the 12-story Champlain Towers South condominium.
