Soon after the Surfside Collapse took place, the following story was one of those that stood out for me-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett said he came across the girl, who appeared to be about 11 or 12, sitting near the site where the Champlain Towers South collapsed early Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had seen her earlier, with one of her parents, and talked to them. The other parent was in the building when it collapsed and was among the more than 150 people still missing, Burkett said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor said he knelt down beside the girl Sunday night and asked if she was OK. \u201cShe said, \u2018Yes,'” he said. He said she was looking at her phone, reading a Jewish prayer to herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd that really brought it home to me,” Burkett said. \u201cShe wasn\u2019t crying, she was just lost. She didn\u2019t know what to do, what to say, who to talk to.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s horrific,” he said. \u201cThis is disturbing, but that is just a tiny, tiny example of the impact that this collapse has had on our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we now know that little girl\u2019s name is Elisheva Cohen, who lost her father Dr. Brad Cohen along with her uncle Dr. Gary Cohen in the Surfside tragedy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rescue workers recovered both bodies at the same time according to many reports, but Brad Cohen\u2019s body was only identified many days later which officially made him the 93rd<\/sup> victim according to the following –<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Burkett\u2019s Name Reminds Me Of Flight 93 Terrorist Victim Tom Burnett Buried In Fort Snelling, Minnesota.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Burkett\u2019s last name is very similar to Tom Burnett who played a major role in the attempt to rescue Flight 93 from four terrorists on September 11, 2001. Tom\u2019s family established a foundation to honor his name which can be viewed at the following link-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the middle of the Main Page there is a section \u201cRemembering Tom\u201d which contains three sub-sections, one of which is labelled \u201cWatch\u201d and includes two sections of an NBC program \u201cDateline\u201d with Maria Shiver detailing Tom\u2019s life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
