After Surfside Collapse, Now Lower Manhattan Collapse
The roof of a parking garage has collapsed in Lower Manhattan. The collapse happened around 4:15 p.m. at Ann and William streets. Firefighters are working on reaching the victims but are navigating the unstable building and hazardous conditions from gasoline and potentially explosive car parts.
Records show there are open hazardous building violations from 2008 for cracks in the concrete.
Nearly 2 years ago, on June 24, 2021, at approximately 1:22 a.m. EDT, Champlain Towers South, a 12-story beachfront condominium in the Miami suburb of Surfside, Florida, United States, partially collapsed, causing the death of 98 people.
