Rescuers resume their search for a worker trapped in rubble a day after the collapse of a hotel under construction in New Orleans
Rescuers resumed searching Sunday for a worker trapped in rubble after a deadly construction collapse in New Orleans, officials said, but the building's instability is making for a precarious situation.
"As you start to move debris, you've got to make sure that everything is shored up," New Orleans Fire Department Superintendent Tim McConnell said, asking for patience as teams work to ensure the structure is safe. Two people were killed in Saturday's collapse and at least 30 people were hospitalized, authorities said. All but one of the injured have been discharged, they said. Mayor LaToya Cantrell visited the last hospitalized victim at University Medical Center, she said.
