Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said, "Today, I am directing that all flags across Philadelphia be lowered to half-staff in honor of the Ironworkers we have lost in the South Philadelphia garage collapse. One life has been taken from us. Two others are lost and presumed deceased. We are praying for them."
The search has been updated from a rescue to a recovery, with plans to demolish the remains of the parking structure.
