A four-story parking garage collapsed in New York City killing one person and injuring others, including five workers. Officials believe everyone in the building has been accounted for, but the fire department will continue to conduct searches to confirm.
Firefighters responded but pulled rescuers out because of concerns about the building's structural stability, the New York Fire Department said. At least five workers were injured, one of whom refused medical attention, said James Esposito, the fire department's chief of operations.“We had firefighters inside the building conducting searches. The building was continuing to collapse,” Esposito said at a news conference, calling the operation extremely dangerous.
Officials believe everyone in the four-story building has been accounted for, but the fire department will continue to conduct searches to confirm. Adams told reporters that the building did not appear to have any open violations with the city's Department of Buildings. Records show the building had a 2003 violation for a crack in the first-floor ceiling slab.
