One person is dead and at least five others hurt after a parking garage collapsed in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday. alecia__reid reports.
The cause of this collapse will be determined by a forensic engineer, but initial findings show the weight from the number of vehicles parked on the roof deck, plus the age of the building, contributed to the collapse.
"What we observed from the drone deployed, we observed that there are a four story building all the way pancaked, collapsed all the way to the cellar floor," Acting Department of Buildings Commissioner Kazimir Vilenchik said. "This was an extremely dangerous operation for our firefighters. We responded to a call of a collapse in the building. We had firefighters inside the building conducting searches. The building was continuing to collapse. We made the decision to remove all our people from the building. Our robotics unit happened to be nearby. They were on scene very quickly. We deployed our robot dog into the building.
