Overview
- City officials said early Monday that crews recovered the two missing ironworkers after an overnight search that began at 9 p.m. Sunday.
- Demolition of the unstable seven-level structure finished Sunday evening, clearing the way for round-the-clock de-layering of rubble to reach the stairwell where the men were found.
- The April 8 collapse began when a precast concrete roof slab failed during installation, triggering a progressive failure down the stair tower of the garage being built for Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia staff.
- All three victims were members of Ironworkers Local 401, with the union naming the recovered men as Matthew Kane and Mark Scott Jr. and identifying Stepan Shevchuk as the worker who died at a hospital on Wednesday.
- The city has shifted to an independent investigation led by the City Solicitor with outside experts, and roads near 30th Street and the Grays Ferry Shopping Center remain closed as monitoring and evidence work continue.
