Crews demolish unstable CHOP garage in Grays Ferry after collapse kills three ironworkers

Crews used a wrecking ball Saturday to bring down unstable sections of a partially collapsed CHOP parking garage in Grays Ferry, with about 200 workers on site before pausing for the night; work was set to resume Sunday. Officials said there is no fixed timeline for completion, citing hanging debris that could fall at any time. The collapse killed three Ironworkers Local 401 members, and recovery teams will enter once engineers deem the site safe enough to retrieve the two workers still trapped.
