WSBT-TV is reporting:

“At this point, we still haven’t found any signs of any victims,” Atlanta Fire and Rescue spokesman Bobby Stewart said. “We are going to search every corner, every confined space, every vehicle to make sure no victim is left behind.”

 

The search stalled during the night when the building shifted. It took fire crews several hours to shore up the building. At least 38 cars were caught in the collapse.

“Overnight, I would say we have made very good progress,” said Atlanta Fire Battalion Chief Steven Woodworth said.
