Crews begin demolition of collapsed Grays Ferry garage

Crews on Saturday morning began demolishing the partially collapsed Grays Ferry parking garage and are expected to take steps to recover the bodies of the two ironworkers who are presumed dead in the rubble. What’s left of the under-construction Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s garage after the deadly collapse, which claimed the life of another worker pulled from the debris, is extremely weakened and “could collapse at any moment,” officials have said. The building’s unstable condition has forced rescuers to proceed slowly and carefully, even as the two workers remain unaccounted for.
