One person is still missing, believed to be trapped inside the Hard Rock Hotel after the building partially collapsed without warning Saturday morning.

Rescue efforts are still the focus. Engineers are evaluating the building and crews are assembling a 220,000-pound crane to try to stabilize the building, but rescue teams are unable to get to some areas due to fears of another collapse.

"We have someone we have not located and can’t get to where we think they might be," New Orleans Fire Department Chief Tim McConnell said.

"Our goal here is to continue making the scene safe so we can continue getting into this building deeper and deeper for rescue purposes."

Several floors of the hotel toppled down Saturday amid blinding dust and flying debris. A WWL-TV viewer captured dramatic video of upper floors collapsing Saturday before one side of the building crashed to the street.
