| [NYPOST] One person was killed and multiple others trapped Tuesday after a parking garage collapsed in Lower Manhattan, officials said. Shocking footage from the scene at 35-37 Ann Street shows multiple cars on top of the concave roof as a woman get can be heard screaming, "Get out!" "At this time the building is completely unstable," Eric Adams said during a presser at the scene. A total of six people were hurt — four were taken to the hospital, one person died and one refused medical attention, according to fire officials. All six had been working inside the building when it collapsed around 4:10 p.m. "There was a worker who was trapped on the upper floor. He was conscious and alert and moving around calling us," John Esposito, the FDNY chief of operations, said. "He just couldn’t get down. We were able to put firefighters up there in the building to take him down across the roof of another building." Officials believe all workers are accounted for, but are continuing to investigate. "We’re continuing to do searches. There are some cars in there that are crushed. We’re trying to see if we can get up close to make sure there’s nobody in those cars," Esposito added. The building had active violations dating back to 2003, NYC Department of Building Acting Commissioner Kaz Vilenchik said. There were also active permits on the building, one of which was related to electrical work, but the building was not under construction. |

| #5 Heh. He also can't tell you what defines a "woman"? I be an engineer and I can articulate answers to both. |
