More fell that they got on video from a helicopter. One of my colleague's cars got it, after we'd joked about that section being next.

That's crazy. Time to get some $.

"In Texas, there are no laws or regulations that require routine structural inspections of public or private parking garages. Inspections are required during the construction phase. But after construction is complete, it's up to the garage owner to hire a structural engineer to routinely conduct an inspection and identify and maintenance issues caused by wear and tear."

I'm pretty sure I'd wait until they removed some of the weight off the top before even thinking about going in there !!
