D.C. fire and emergency officials were working to shore up a portion of a parking garage that collapsed this morning at the Watergate complex on Virginia Avenue NW.
D. C. fire spokesman Tim Wilson said it will take several hours to shore up the structure, a step necessary for emergency responders to be able to search the garage for anyone who may be trapped, WTOP reports.
Three stories of the garage, which was under renovation, collapsed atop each other in a "pancake" effect.

Every time I HAVE to use a ‘parking garage,’ I ALways think of an accident possibly happening just like this. I’d just as soon be on the uppermost top, I think - - - at the least, my vehicle won’t be the pancake on the bottom.
And without me or anyone in the car, of course.
Don’t know what is an excellent structure, passing all the tests, right down to final inspections.
It comes down to - - trust -

Quote from the article:
The Watergate Hotel, part of the complex, is undergoing a $125 million renovation by its New York-based owner, Euro Capital Properties to return it to its original luster and exude a "Mad Men"-era glamour and style.
How ironic! LOL

Nixon’s fault! I guess that was pretty obvious that it is the first comment in response.

I was referring to the tape on the door.... It's less conspicuous to wedge a coin against the retracted bolt.
