Four people are dead in the collapse of a casino parking garage in Atlantic City and one is still missing, officials said.

I just heard that they're not sure if the rest of the garage is stable. One report said that one of the walls is buckling. It's sad that it happened. But now they know that it wasn't a safe structure and can find out what went wrong so it won't happen when several tourists are there with their cars.

I saw live reports after the collapse. I didn't realize the top 5 floors collapsed on the bottom 5 floors. I would say they need to make darn sure the lower 5 floors are stable. They're not dealing with a collapse at ground level. It's a sad situation! Sure hope they can someone get in there to rescue people. Do we know if people are trapped?
