No details of the demolition plans have been announced yet, except that the demolition may begin today.
Tropical Storm Elsa is less of a threat now than she was, but the remaining structure is very unstable and is being demolished on the advice of the FEMA engineering team.
This is just conjecture, but I believe authorities will try to bring the building down
across Collins Avenue to the west -- the roadway with the bend just to the left of the building. That would be away from the area where there is still some hope of finding survivors (outlined in red).
A large area of about two blocks on the west side of Collins Avenue (outlined in yellow) is a public park, much of which is either tennis courts or just open land.
The roadway can be rebuilt, the park can be rebuilt, and this strategy would protect the search area.
