It was a delicate operation to recover the victim and remove as many as 90 vehicles scattered on the structure's buckled top deck and amid tons of shattered concrete.
City officials believe weight of the cars and the age of the building may have played a role in this collapse, but the investigation is still ongoing.
According to floor plans obtained by Eyewitness News, an engineering report commissioned by the building's owner in 2010 uncovered issues with the roof and ceiling. The deconstruction of the building is being coordinated with the building department's investigation. So if investigators need an area of debris cleared to facilitate their investigation, the construction crews will prioritize that area.
The general plan is to remove the approximately 90 cars, and then demolish the area after the cars are removed.
