MIAMI (AP) - Officials in Miami say a construction worker pulled from the rubble of a parking garage collapse is in extremely critical condition.
He was pulled from under a huge slab of concrete about 13 hours after a parking garage under construction at Miami-Dade community college collapsed, killing two workers. One worker is still unaccounted for and rescuers say they expect to find another body in the rubble.
The worker who was freed was located by rescuers who heard his cries from amid the rubble not long after the roof of the five-story garage fell, creating a pancake-style collapse.
Eight workers were injured.
The campus was evacuated and closed for the rest of the week. Investigators planned to pick through the rubble to see what caused the garage to crumble.
