Luiz C. Ribeiro for NY Daily News via Getty Images(NEW YORK) The Manhattan district attorney’s office will investigate the partial collapse of a parking garage that killed one and injured five others, a spokeswoman for the office confirmed Wednesday.
More than 50 cars were parked on the roof of the four-story Lower Manhattan building when it collapsed Tuesday afternoon, sending cars plummeting and killing one worker whose body remains trapped in the debris, officials said Wednesday.
The New York City Fire Department is slowly and methodically taking down the building. Gas tanks and electric vehicles in the debris are complicating the deconstruction process.
"This is an incredibly complex operation," emergency management commissioner Zach Iscol said during a press briefing Wednesday. "The building is not structurally sound."
The city is working to "safely demolish" the building while also removing the vehicles, he said.
