SerbiaA 30-story under-construction commercial building in Manhattan was evacuated after two load-bearing steel columns on floors 21 and 22 began to bend and collapse, causing partial structural failure between floors 21 and 26. The evacuation occurred around 8:11 AM local time after construction workers noticed the issue, according to NYPD and FDNY. No injuries were reported, and all construction workers safely evacuated.

He urged nearby residents to follow authorities' instructions and noted that not only the building but also surrounding structures, including a nearby school, were evacuated as a precaution.
