New York skyscraper evacuated fear of collapse

A 38-story skyscraper in Manhattan was evacuated on Tuesday due to concerns about potential collapse. The building, currently undergoing renovations on 42nd Street, had several bricks falling from it, prompting emergency services to respond. Workers on site reported that multiple load-bearing beams in the 21st floor were beginning to collapse, with images showing bent beams inside the structure. Nearby buildings, including a school with around 400 children, were also evacuated. The building, formerly Pfizer’s international headquarters, is being converted into a residential complex with 1,500 units and has been expanded with additional floors and a tower. The architectural firm Gensler, overseeing the project, has not commented on the situation. Local officials are monitoring the structural movement and advising residents to stay away from the area.
