    Rescue workers attend to a victim after a section of a parking garage under construction at a Miami-Dade College campus collapsed, on Oct. 10, in Doral, Fla., killing one worker and trapping at least two others in the rubble, officials said.

    NBCMiami.com and NBC News staff --Police say a second body has been found in the rubble of a collapsed parking garage at Miami-Dade Community College's west campus in Doral, Fla.

    Hours after the collapse at 11:40 a.m. on Wednesday, one person remained trapped in the rubble. Six crew members were with the person giving him oxygen and attending to his needs as others removed the heavy debris, said Capt. Louie Fernandez of Fire Rescue. Another person who had been trapped was rescued.

    "The person cannot be moved. We literally have to lift and remove tons of debris around him," he said.

    Some 300 rescuers rushed to the scene when a portion of the five-story parking garage at 3800 N.W. 115th Ave. collapsed in what authorities call a "pancake-style collapse." Police said it appeared that only construction workers were at the site.
