I've read there are multiple violations throughout the years, and it's sad to see the aftermath of the parking garage collapse in this video and yesterday's livestream. 😢 RIP to the one person, and hope the other victims are recovering. 🙏 The colorful tree blooms look so pretty, and I enjoyed the stroll through FiDi as always. Thank you for sharing this coverage and walk, AK! 🤗
I noted that it was FULL of SUVs. I didn't see one sedan in the wreckage so the weight must have been higher than it may have been rated for. Also, if they were Electric Vehicles (EVs) then you can add another 30% to 40% on top of the normal weight for a similar petrol driven vehicle. The reason is the battery packs on an SUV can weigh as much as a regular compact car with some EVs being nearly 3 tonnes in weight. Not sure about America but in Australia all government departments on all levels are changing to EV's as a way of increasing their popularity among the public. These are issues that people haven't thought about but will present themselves in disasters like this.
@@jasontempest4233 💯 I've read and heard this structure is almost a century old, so it was not built at the time to accommodate the unforeseeable heavy modern vehicles. The garage remained open for operation, despite the visible deteriorations, which led to this tragedy. 😞
Good Thursday Morning My Friend IAM Hoping That You Are Having A Terrific Day I Would Like To Extend My Deepest Condolences To The Victim Family And Friends IAM Praying For For The Other Victims Who Were Injured in This Tragedy AK Please Be Safe And As Always I Really Appreciate You For Inviting All Of Us To Walk Along With You Much Blessings And Love Ms British Gray From Tampa Florida ❤❤😊😊
Excellent walk today! I like the older style architecture of New York's financial district. The buildings look substantial and solid. The older skyscrapers of New York such as the Crysler or Empire State Buildings are impressive and built to last; the newer glass and steel buildings seem ephemeral if not flimsy - just my opinion, but I like buildings that are solid. Thanks for this excellent tour!
Most interesting part at beginning seeing people going to work. Really. As I worked nearby until retiring last year, and I am only around there a little later in the day sometimes, made it seem NY post C-V decline was even worse, few people seem to be on streets and in shops compared to what used to be.
I enjoyed watching this so much as I am waking up here in San Francisco. Your attention to the collapsed building is reverent and not prurient and is therefore comforting. I loved the alleyish ramble over to the courthouse area. May all suffering be redeemed... 🙇♀️
Hello? It's already Friday this week. I hope you have a healthy and good week ahead as well. I always support your charming activities. See you again next time. ^^
I loved the way your video started off with cherry blossom trees. The car garage collapse is tragic but your walk was very nice. I think you should wear your press badge at all times for your safety. I feel that a perp like the one you ran into yesterday might think twice about giving you a hard time if you had been wearing the badge. Of course there are always those who would attack the press too, but I feel it would greatly increase your safety....just a thought..... Things are getting crazy out there with people getting shot for going to the wrong house, for turning around in the wrong driveway, and for going to the wrong car in a parking lot by mistake. (I've done that before) You can't be too careful. One false move and....Stay safe AK.
Thank you for another great video.. That is a lot of walking, the content is awesome.. I did a walking tour of N.Y. C. Many years ago, for 3 days...I could never do it now, someone would have to carry me...😂😂
We had just parked our car there for a week and left on Sunday. I hope the people I interacted with are okay, they had weird reviews but seemed okay. I was standing right in the entrance waiting for my car about 48 hours before this happened and thought the floor was looking a bit worn and sketchy. Awful tragedy.
I wish it was a walk of joy. Hearts go out to the families of the victim. But at least the weather was outstanding with the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the Bull getting all the attention now that's NYC in true form.
I was there day of the parking lot destroyed randomly and took video of the area and it was completely eerie, had no idea when all these firetrucks showed up, new yorkers either gathered or went about their business
23:40 - That thin building under construction is New York's infamous Leaning Tower "Seaport Residences". They say it will cost 100s of millions of dollars to repair. The 60 story residential tower 'topped out' back in September 2018 and has been sitting there abandoned ever since the lean was discovered in early 2019. So it's been just sitting there open to the weather for 4 years now, preventing development of nearby sites to it's north.
This area is a sleeper in terms of best neighborhoods to live in. It bustles during the day but gets quiet at night. It’s one of the most heavily surveilled areas in the city due to Wall Street and the 9/11 memorial, so I can walk through here and feel very safe. And, if you like Tribeca but hate their pricing, living here puts you right next to that neighborhood for less money. Tons of transportation options to get you around, too.
I was walking those streets exactly 10 years ago on my birthday. I went to Staten Island but unfortunately it was raining and cold, still interesting though. The days before had been glorious spring weather and Central Park was blooming. What really takes me back is not the vision, but the sounds. Cities have unique sounds from the Clackety Clack of tires against tram tracks in Melbourne (and the bells) to the trumpets of departing ferries and suburban trains at Circular Quay in Sydney as it echos across the harbour, mixed with the crashing of waves against the docks. New York also had sounds that stick in my memory like the sound of fire engines, birds and other sounds echoing between the canyons.
Dear AK, it is not advisable walking in and around the collapsed area, the wrecks may give physical wounds and even further collapse may occur sometimes ... Please be careful,,,,
I think one of the things that needs to be addressed when it comes to older buildings in the city, is if they’re structurally sound, and how structurally sound they actually are. I know so many NYers wanna bring back a lot of the older architecture with the buildings from like the 1800’s-1900’s because they had so much charm, and character…..but realistically speaking, the only way that those buildings would’ve been able to stay in place is if they were already built from actual materials that would’ve been the best of the best back then, and still are the best of the best now in terms of safety……Or spending probably more than $500 on restoration, which would kind of take away that old charm, but make them safer.
That's a good point, it's important for buildings to maintained and in good condition to prevent something like the parking garage collapse happening again.
I wonder if any cameras in the area caught the collapse. Believe it or not, I've never seen the bull or the brave little girl up close myself. I should take a walk around there someday... From your video at 38:18, it looks like the 4 or 5 train is the best way to get there.
Boy do you get around? The area of BENSONHURST NY was John GOTTI and Sammy the Bull Gravano and other MAFIA guys headquarters!! In BOSTON we had a similar collapse 1 year ago! See you in FLORIDA ? I hope?🇺🇸😎⚓️

It's really upsetting that anybody had to suffer because of the structural deficiencies of the parking garage Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you, AK. Excellent walk. It is great to tag along on all of your walks. 💕
You're welcome!
Good Thursday Morning My Friend

It's such a terrible tragedy, I want to extend my condolences too to everyone affected.

When they tore down the old Penn Station is was an exceptionally difficult task because it was built so solidly.
Thanks! The older skyscrapers are historic buildings with so much character! The modern ones are nice in their own way
Great content AK, thanks for taking us with you on your walk through the city🗽👍🏻
Much appreciated!

Yes, it does seem like there are fewer people than before. It's still very active though.
I enjoyed watching this so much as I am waking up here in San Francisco.

Thank you so much, it was sad to see the parking garage in person. Hopefully it can be cleaned up quickly.
Wow... amazing walking tour in New York

Thanks for this interesting tour.
Amazing that a parking garage was even in such a tight spot
Nice walking with you AK. Be safe
AK, thanks for this amazing, informative walking tour!
You're welcome!
Yes we are very grateful ❤❤❤
I walk that street everyday passing that garage..
American infrastructure crumbling before our eyes. Thanks for the filming of your walk and the coverage of the collapse @ActionKid!

Thank you so much for the kind words.
Great video! It's good to see the Bull's testackles are still nice and shiny...
Hello. Glad to see you still walking around.
Good morning, everyone
Thank you for another great video.. That is a lot of walking, the content is awesome.. I did a walking tour of N.Y. C. Many years ago, for 3 days...I could never do it now, someone would have to carry me...😂😂
Electric cars are a lot heavier than conventional combustion engined cars
Boo on EV's! Going to be batteries thrown everywhere when they go bad.
We had just parked our car there for a week and left on Sunday. I hope the people I interacted with are okay, they had weird reviews but seemed okay. I was standing right in the entrance waiting for my car about 48 hours before this happened and thought the floor was looking a bit worn and sketchy. Awful tragedy.
That’s crazy!
@@0Eliza0 I'd be a "bit" more shook up.......
Wow, you got so lucky that you avoided the entire collapse! I really hope everyone you interacted with are OK too.
Gracias
You are my favorite walker. I hope I see you in Toronto or Manahattan randomly one day.
Bellissima video 👍👍👍
I wish it was a walk of joy. Hearts go out to the families of the victim. But at least the weather was outstanding with the cherry blossoms in full bloom and the Bull getting all the attention now that's NYC in true form.
I was there day of the parking lot destroyed randomly and took video of the area
and it was completely eerie, had no idea when all these firetrucks showed up,
new yorkers either gathered or went about their business
Thank you, Action kid, I was very concerned, the parking garage collapse.

Ak carmine street in Greenwich village is where my grandmother 👵 ❤️ grew up poor in the 1920s and 1930s before moving to Brooklyn
The press pass really helped then!😂
Hello from Peru

You should have stopped at that Pizza 🍕 place on the way to the garage? Lol!🇺🇸😎

I guess some new parking garages shouod be made.
On a small scale lego had the best idea change the material you would never get this and lives would be saved..
dont worry more to come

Go Yank's!
Boy do you get around? The area of BENSONHURST NY was John GOTTI and Sammy the Bull Gravano and other MAFIA guys headquarters!! In BOSTON we had a similar collapse 1 year ago! See you in FLORIDA ? I hope?🇺🇸😎⚓️
Wait till they start collapsing wth the weight of electric vehicles that are double that of normal fossil fuel cars.
When are you going to be back in Florida?
Gotta love capitalism. That was a Sheriffs Garage ffs!
was this taken before the controlled demolition?
hey ak how to get nyc press pass
j.w. in full force, eh?
NYC Press Pass? How hard was THAT to get?
Click bait - got me 😥
Are u sure about that? I thought it was Fort Knox Kentucky that held the largest stored about of gold in the US.
I was wondering myself and at the same time, have known AK to be fiercely accurate.... 🌻
Why are all the reporters in masks?
You’re late the parking garage happened 2 days ago
He recorded this on Wednesday. A day after the collapse. He’s not “late”
Did you even watch the video or read the description? This sounds more like a "Gotcha" comment but failed.
One person passed away as a result of the collapse. 😔
