An 88-year-old survivor of the Florida building collapse has tearfully reunited with her rescuer.

Grandmother Esther Gorfinkle wept as she recounted the events of last month, when the Miami condo she lived in came crashing down, killing 24 people and injuring scores more.

She told CNN that she had been in bed asleep in her apartment in the Champlain Towers South Condo in Surfside when she heard a crash. “All of a sudden, I hear ‘Boom!’ and my bed is shaking, I see my apartment is shaking,” she said.
