Some evacuation orders and street closures remain as work continues on a NYC high-rise that buckled

A massive, under-construction apartment building in Manhattan buckled and caused columns to buckle and floors to sag, leading to immediate evacuations and street closures. Overnight, crews worked to stabilize the structure amid fears of a potential collapse. While some evacuation orders and street closures remain in place, efforts are ongoing to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. This incident underscores the critical need for rigorous building safety checks, especially for high-rise developments, to prevent catastrophic failures.
