One killed as New York City parking garage collapses ‘to the cellar floor’

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.

Police said they had no reason to believe the incident was anything other than a structural collapse.
