In New York, one person was killed and multiple others trapped Tuesday after a parking garage collapsed in Lower Manhattan. Shocking footage from the scene at 35-37 Ann Street shows multiple cars on top of the concave roof as a woman is heard screaming, “Get out!” “At this time the building is completely unstable,” Mayor Eric Adams said during a press conference at the scene. The incident occurred in the parking structure near Pace University and the New York Stock Exchange, authorities said.

"We have no reason to believe that this was anything other than a structural collapse," City police commissioner Keechant Sewell said saying that no foul play was suspected. The structure had been cited for 45 violations, including 25 since 2003, many related to its elevators, New York City Department of Buildings' online records showed. All of the injured had been working inside the building when it collapsed. Slabs of concrete plummeted through a lounge area for garage employees, a source said.
