A Lower Manhattan parking garage collapsed after workers began dismantling bricks -- without knowing they were holding up the 98 year old building
While the cause is unknown and it is very early in the investigation, city officials are preliminarily looking at two factors in the deadly collapse.
Two of the building's open violations date back 20 years to 2003 and it appears they were never addressed. Now the question is why.
One person was killed, and several others were injured when a parking garage in Lower Manhattan collapsed on Tuesday evening.
Neighbors are identifying the victim as 59-year-old Willis Moore, who they say was the manager of the Ann St. parking garage.
