- A search and rescue mission is underway after a parking garage in Philadelphia collapsed, resulting in one fatality with two people currently missing.
- The collapse was triggered by a falling roof segment, which led to a "progressive collapse" across all seven levels of the structure.
- Rescue teams managed to save three individuals, one of whom later died in hospital, while two others were treated and released. The search continued Thursday for the remaining victims.
- Due to the building's instability, emergency services plan to deconstruct it layer by layer to safely search for the missing individuals.
- The parking garage is owned by the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and city officials have confirmed that all necessary permits and inspections were up to date, with an investigation into the cause now underway.
