HOPE - Missing Grandparents’ Landline Calling From Collapsed Condo Tower (VIDEO)
It has been three long days without word for so many from loved ones who are missing after the Champlain Towers South collapsed early Thursday morning. Jake Samuelson’s grandparents, Arnie and Myriam Notkin, live in apartment 302 and the family is still waiting to hear from them. Or have they heard from them? Samuelson said his mother’s house line has been receiving calls from the Notkin’s landline phone that he said rested next to their bed.
But there is no human sound on the other end of the line, only static. The family has received a total of 16 calls with the first one coming in the evening after the condo collapse at 9:50 p.m. Thursday. Samuelson said when the first call came in, the family had a mix of emotions. “We were all sitting there in the living room, my whole family, Diane, my mother, and we were just shocked and we kind of thought nothing of it because we answered, and it was static,” Samuelson said.
