Emergency in New York City Building in danger of collapse: Steel beams bending like cigarettes

A high-rise building in Manhattan is at risk of collapsing, prompting evacuations of nearby streets and buildings during morning rush hour in Midtown. According to New York authorities, the 37-story structure, formerly Pfizer’s headquarters, is still unstable, with structural issues reported on the 21st floor. Local officials describe the situation as 'extremely serious,' noting that steel beams are bending like cigarettes. Emergency services received reports of bricks falling onto streets, leading to the evacuation of construction workers from the site earlier in the week. The building is currently being converted into a residential complex with 1,600 apartments. Authorities have established a 'collapse zone' around the structure.

Viranomaiset eivät vielä tiedossa syytä ongelmiin, mutta rakennus liikkuu edelleen. Palolaitoksen päällikkö korostaa, että teräsrunkoinen rakennus ei tarkoita täydellistä romahdusta, vaan paikallista ongelmaa, joka vaatii huomiota.
