Midtown Atlanta parking deck collapse aftermath on video

Web designer who works nearby returns to office finding a wacky scene

John Williams has awesome timing. About 10 to 15 minutes before a portion of a Midtown Atlanta parking deck collapsed today, the web designer, who works in a nearby building, says he left the area to get his car’s emissions checked. He returned to find the structure near Technology Square shut down, firetrucks parked, and a crowd gathered wondering just what the hell happened.

“It looked like a section about five cars wide just fell and took out the next three floors below it,” Williams said in a phone interview with CL. “You can see the cars piled up.”

Williams shot video from the scene. To view them, click the screenshots below.
