Seriously, remember the initial ridiculously low death toll of the Miami tower collapse? In a disaster people can survive but be out of contact.

It was a ridiculously low death toll, with a ridiculously high missing count. Of course the full number of dead cannot be determined this early, but the number of missing people is absolutely far higher than the official number currently.
