    Demolition under way at site of casino garage collapse By JOHN CURRAN, AP
    ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. - In the shadow of the Tropicana Casino and Resort's crumpled parking garage, the noise never stops - the jackhammers and chain saws, the rivet-driving and the hammering.

    There are giant excavators to lift debris, dump trucks to move it out and flatbed trucks to haul in timber used to fortify giant scaffolds.

    The scaffolds and a construction bridge crisscross the collapsed end of the 10-story structure, which folded like a house of cards during a concrete pour Oct. 30, killing four construction workers.
