"What we are working on now is shoring up the garage to make it safe to remove the vehicles that are in there,"
"It was very nerve-wracking, you know. I didn't know which way to go, if it was a secure structure to leave. And I have small kids at home, but God forbid, you never know,"
"We are blessed that it wasn't something more tragic. If it was at 8:30 in the morning, who knows what would have happened when people were coming into to work,"
The fifth floor of a 12-story parking garage in White Plains collapsed onto the fourth floor around 9 a.m., crushing multiple vehicles. Roughly 15 cars remain in the collapse zone and will not be moved until the structure is stabilized. Inspectors examined the garage thoroughly, including entrance and exit ramps, and firefighters cut new temporary support columns while engineers plan a permanent solution. Officials focused on shoring up the garage to safely remove vehicles. Many neighboring office workers use the garage and crosswalk to reach workplaces. Authorities reported no injuries and offered no timetable for vehicle retrieval.
