NEW YORK (SONNA) \u2014 A parking garage collapsed Tuesday in lower Manhattan\u2019s Financial District, killing one worker, injuring five and crushing cars as concrete floors fell on top of each other like a stack of pancakes, officials said.<\/p>\n
Vehicles tumbled into what looked like a frozen stream of sedans and SUVs. People nearby described a fearsome rumbling, followed by screams.<\/p>\n
Ahmed Scott arrived to collect his car after work and found a disaster in the making.<\/p>\n
In a video he shot from across the street, someone off-camera yells, \u201cGuard! 911! 911! There\u2019s a building collapsing on Ann Street,\u201d followed by the sound of something crumpling. About 45 seconds later, two women run out, saying the building fell while they were inside it. A man stands on a fire escape as bystanders try to figure out how to help him get down. He eventually did, Scott said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope ain\u2019t nobody else in there,\u201d Scott recalled thinking, worrying for the garage workers he\u2019d gotten to know.<\/p>\n
To Jadess Speller, a student at nearby Pace University, the collapse \u201cfelt like an earthquake — like the earth opened up inside, like that\u2019s how violent it was.\u201d Other students described seeing cars falling in the building.<\/p>\n
One vehicle landed on its end in the garage entrance, a photo posted by Mayor Eric Adams\u2019 office showed.<\/p>\n
