One person has died and five others were injured when a multi-storey car park partially collapsed in New York City, officials say.
The second floor of the four-storey structure in Manhattan's Financial District collapsed first, reports CBS, the BBC's US partner.
Authorities said all the workers in the building have been accounted for.

Video posted online shows cars and debris stacked high on a mound of shattered concrete.
The collapse occurred at around 16:00 local time (20:00 GMT).
New York City Fire Department (FDNY) chief John Esposito said the rescue operation was "extremely dangerous" for the firefighters and deemed the structure "very unstable".
"We had firefighters inside the building conducting searches. The building was continuing to collapse," he said. "At this time, we believe that we have the workers that were in danger all accounted for, all out of the building."
He added that one injured worker had been trapped on an upper floor, and was unable to get down on his own.
"We were able to put firefighters up there in the building and take him out across the roof to another building and bring him down safely," said Mr Esposito.
The city's mayor said new technology played a vital role in the emergency response.

Looks like American buildings do not need earthquakes or other natural disasters to collapse. They neither need some CIA paid terrorists like Bin Laden to conduct some fake 9/11 operations on useless American buildings.

The buildings voluntarily collapse on their own to show the world the quality of aging American infrastructure.

America is ridiculous, thousands of rupees charged for parking anywhere in a major city. For all the shit Karachi gets at least you can park wherever you want for free.

Absolute freedom is chaos, Karaachi is closer to that since there is no law and order, it's nothing to be proud of.

I once paid 60.00 for parking by times square. I was there for maybe 30 minutes but had to pay the flat fee. Greed at its worst!

There are No Parking zones enforced by traffic police, it's not lawless.
