Emergencies: Collapse of a parking garage in New York – at least one dead

At least one person died when a parking garage collapsed in New York. Rescue workers and Mayor Eric Adams said five other people were injured.

Numerous cars were squeezed. The rescue work had to be temporarily interrupted because the multi-storey car park on the southern tip of Manhattan, which had largely collapsed, threatened to collapse further. It was initially unclear why the multi-storey building collapsed and is now to be investigated.
