Parking garage falls in NYC, killing 1

A parking garage collapsed Tuesday in lower Manhattan’s Financial District, killing one worker, injuring five and crushing cars as concrete floors fell on top of each other, officials said. Officials said one worker was trapped on an upper floor and rescued via a neighboring roof.

The garage caved in around 4 p.m., a few blocks from City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge, and about half a mile from the New York Stock Exchange.Sophia Vuksanaj, eyewitness said "I was in the building where classes take place and we were actually I was just getting out of a class and we heard the boom and we thought in our building we want to check and immediately saw everything was collapsed to the ground. Everything was sinking. It was just heartbreaking. We heard screams. I didn't know where it was coming from at first."

The collapse left the building “completely unstable,” Mayor Eric Adams said at a news conference. Firefighters had to pull out because of the danger, conducting searches instead with a drone and a robotic dog.
