Five were injured, according to the New York City mayor, in the partial collapse near city hall and the Brooklyn Bridge
A parking garage collapsed on Tuesday in the Financial District in lower Manhattan, killing one worker, injuring five and crushing cars as concrete floors fell on top of each other like a stack of pancakes, officials said.
Bystander video showed cars hanging precariously from a buckled upper deck of the three-story building. People nearby described a fearsome rumbling followed by screams. The building was “all the way pancaked, collapsed all the way to the cellar floor”, said Kazimir Vilenchik, the acting buildings commissioner.
