The freak incident in the Financial District at 57 Ann Street on Tuesday afternoon left one dead, the parking garage manager Willis Moore, and five others injured.
The clean-up of the deadly parking garage collapse earlier this week remains “very dangerous” and “incredibly complex” — as emergency workers try to safely remove the remaining vehicles, city officials said Friday.
“Those vehicles have gas, other fluids that can cause hazards,” said Commissioner of Emergency Management, Zachary Iscol, adding, “In addition to that we have the added complexity of electric vehicles.The disaster in the Financial District at 57 Ann Street on Tuesday afternoon left one dead, theIscol said the Department of Buildings found that the third floor caved into the second floor, which then all fell into the footprint of the building.
That is requiring demolition workers to brace the adjacent building walls, including one that’s owned by Pace University. “We are working very hard right now to ensure the stability of the surrounding structures as we proceed with the demolition,” Iscol said. The FDNY spent days removing vehicles from the garage as it started a controlled demolition of the structure.The collapse happened just after 4 p.m. Tuesday.While the official cause of the collapse has yet to be determined, a preliminary report from the FDNYthat had fallen into the second floor.
