Partial City Car Park collapse in Atlanta...
Yikes. I hope no one was inside when it happened.
BBC NEWS | Americas | US city car park floors collapse TV footage showed that part of at least one floor had fallen onto the level below, crushing vehicles. Witnesses told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper that four floors of the deck had collapsed, but that the overall structure remained. |
So far no victims found inside, after an initial search that took about 4 hours. Pancaked four floors all the way to the bottom, estimate of 35 cars somewhere in the rubble. Firefighters have now stopped in order to shore up some of the structure before going back in with S&R dogs to eventually search all 6 floors and every vehicle.

Yeah, that's right in Tech Square near the GT Hotel & Conference Center.

I work 2 blocks from there, the deck is not that old. Thank god it wasn't a whole floor that gave way.
|
First, I hope that no one is hurt in this tragedy. Second I hope the cars that are damaged all belong to people who circled for 10 minutes trying to find the "best spot" to park.
