A parking lot collapsed in Manhattan (New York, United States) at dawn on Wednesday, causing at least one death and five injuries, all of them building workers.
Four floors of the garage have collapsed after the second floor collapsed.
A neighbor has captured from a nearby roof the moments after the collapse, which can be seen in the video that accompanies this news.
You can also see what have been the main damages to the structure and the cars that were in it.
Records from the New York City Department of Buildings detail that the facility had been penalized 45 times.
A 2003 file notes that there were "cracks in the ceiling" as well as "defective concrete with exposed cracks."
It also indicates the payment of a fine of $800 for the violation.
The first firefighters who arrived at the scene of the event had to withdraw due to the instability of the structure.
For this reason, the emergency services have used dog-shaped robots to verify that there were no more injured or surviving people inside the construction.
In the video you can see one of these electronic devices, which have surprised pedestrians who approached the area.
This car park is the one used by New York Police employees, but at the time of the collapse no one was inside.
The building is also located next to Pace University, where authorities have had to cancel classes and evacuate the center as a precaution.
