NYC Parking Garage Collapse: Investigation Underway After Fatalities and Injuries.
TL;DR Summary
The collapse of a parking garage in Manhattan that killed one person and injured five others was likely caused by the building's age and the number of cars on its top deck, according to preliminary reports from the FDNY. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office has opened an investigation into the disaster. The garage, which was built in 1925, had over 50 cars on its roof when it collapsed. The building had also been cited for several violations dating back to 2003, many of which were related to issues with its concrete construction.
