1 dead, 4 injured after wall collapses in QC City Hall
A construction worker was killed while three others were injured when a wall at a construction site at the Quezon City Hall compound collapsed Thursday night. The casualty was identified as Russel Guezo, 20, who was trapped under the collapsed wall. Rescuers from the Bureau of Fire Protection said the incident happened at the Civic Center B Building of the Quezon City Hall at around 10:14 p.m Guezo's body was retrieved at around 11:51 p.m. The three injured were Russel Erezo, 22, from Siargao Del Norte; Erwin Ramos, 32, and Joshua Garcia, 23, both from Novaliches, Quezon City; and Christian Mamposte, 20, of Barangay Krus Na Ligas, Quezon City. The local government immediately issued a statement that it has already instructed the City Engineering Department to investigate the collapsed part of the wall. "Based on the initial report, a part of the wall of the building collapsed where the private contractor was supposed to place a scenic elevator," it added. The city government said that among the factors it will investigate is the system implemented by the contractor at the construction site and whether it gave importance to the aspect of occupational safety. "The local government's priority is to provide medical attention to the affected workers," it said. Quezon City Police District Director P/Brig. Gen. Nicolas Torre III said that a joint investigation with the local government will look into possible violations of the building code. "Definitely someone will be held responsible for this, be it criminal or civil, we'll find out in the course of the investigation in the next few days," Torre said.

Major US highway collapses after vehicle fire
A fire caused an overpass on one of America's busiest highways to collapse early Sunday in Philadelphia, authorities said, as reports attributed the cause to a truck that burst into flames under the bridge. The collapse took out four traffic lanes along an elevated section of heavily traveled Interstate 95, though no injuries were immediately reported. "Companies arrived on location and they found... heavy fire from a vehicle -- we don't know what type of vehicle it was," Battalion Chief Derek Bowmer of the Philadelphia Fire Department told a news conference. Bowmer added the situation was considered a hazmat incident, but could not confirm reports that the burning vehicle was an oil tanker. Local media reported that Philadelphia police, as well as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), were looking for the driver of the vehicle associated with the fire, whose whereabouts are unknown. An ATF spokesman told AFP that its Philadelphia field division "is supporting the investigation" and referred additional inquiries to the fire department. The fire department declined to comment. The north-south highway -- one of the busiest in the United States, connecting major cities along the East Coast from Maine to Florida -- remains closed in both directions in the Philadelphia area, officials said. Rebuilding the section of destroyed highway could take weeks, authorities said, a nightmare scenario for commuters as well as for road travelers at the start of the summer holiday season. "Avoid (the) area. Plan and seek alternative travel routes," the Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management said in a tweet. US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said on Twitter he is offering "any assistance that USDOT can provide to help with recovery and reconstruction." Television images showed flames and billowing smoke coming from the crumbled section of I-95 in the northeastern city's Tacony neighborhood, with parts of the elevated roadway having fallen onto the lanes below. City authorities issued a series of alerts on Twitter about a tanker truck fire on the highway, which local media reported went up in flames underneath the bridge, apparently causing the collapse. A city spokeswoman told AFP that a "large fire under I-95" caused the highway to collapse, but did not attribute it to any vehicle. She said the fire has been declared "under control." Local media reported the fire started around 6:20 a.m. (0220 GMT) when Sunday traffic is typically light. "I will always be grateful to our first responders for the dangerous, life-saving work they do to keep residents and visitors safe," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said on Twitter. The southbound lanes of the highway, while still standing, are "compromised," Bowmer said. "They got a lot of heat and heavy fire." "I-95 will be impacted for a long time, for a long time," city Managing Director Tumar Alexander told a news conference, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. Residents told city media outlets that they heard several explosions, which a fire department captain told the local NBC station were coming from underground, caused by runoff from the truck.

New York parking garage collapses, at least 1 dead, 4 injured
At least one person died and four were rushed to hospital after a multi-story parking garage in New York City collapsed on Tuesday, emergency responders said. Aerial video footage circulating on social media showed cars piled on top of one another in a jumble of cracked concrete in the financial district of Lower Manhattan. The building on Ann Street "pancaked, collapsed, all the way to the cellar floor," the acting head of New York's buildings department, Kazimir Vilenchik, told a press conference at the scene. Its exterior remained standing, but officials said they feared further collapse. The fire department's chief of operations John Esposito said they had ordered all their initial responders out of the building -- but that a robotics unit had been able to deploy a robot dog and fly drones inside to conduct searches. He said they believed there had been six workers in the building when it collapsed. "Four of them have been transported to the hospital in stable condition. We have one patient that has died," he told the news conference. The sixth person refused medical treatment, he said. Esposito said the fire department believed everyone had been accounted for. Officials were calling for New Yorkers to avoid the area. The post New York parking garage collapses, at least 1 dead, 4 injured appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
