BREAKING: One person has died and multiple people were injured after a parking garage collapsed in New York's Financial District Tuesday afternoon.
The city's Department of Buildings is on the scene. It is unclear at this time how structurally safe was the building and when was the last time it was inspected.
Erasmo Guerra, a witness, said the garage is usually"super quiet...there is nothing happening over there except cars being parked." "I heard this incredible noise around 4 o'clock this afternoon and I was wondering what that was so I went to the window and I just saw the top floor of this garage...just beginning to cave in and cars just following into this pit," Guerra, who captured video of the harrowing ordeal told News 4 New York."I was just in shock. I heard people on the streat just screaming and yelling for other people to get out.
Please be advised, following the partial collapse of a building near our NYC Campus, all classes on the NYC Campus will be canceled. 33 Beekman and 161 William have been evacuated and accommodations are being made for our residential students.Streets near the scene of the collapse are closed off as first responders flooded the area in an attempt to rescue anyone who may be trapped and investigate what led to the collapse.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is expected to hold a press conference as he plans visit the scene of the collapse.
