Rescuers resume searching collapsed parking deck

»  Comments | Post a Comment

ATLANTA (AP) — Emergency workers have resumed searching the wreckage of a collapsed Atlanta parking garage to see if anyone was trapped inside.

There are no reports of injuries from Monday's collapse, but rescuers early Tuesday morning began digging back into the tangle of concrete and cars to be sure. They had to stop the search Monday night to shore up the building after it shifted.

Atlanta Fire Battalion Chief Steven Woodworth says rescuers are working their way down through the four pancaked floors with dogs, cameras and listening devices.

A hot line set up to take reports of missing people had not received any calls overnight.

The middle sections of about four floors in the six-story building collapsed around lunchtime in Atlanta's busy Midtown area. At least 35 cars were crushed.
