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. ENGLISH DESCRIPTON 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.
