A 38-story office tower at risk of collapse prompted evacuations in Midtown Manhattan, fire officials said July 7.
Just before 8 a.m., the Fire Department of New York received a report of bricks falling from the high-rise building currently under construction on East 42nd Street, between 2nd and 3rd avenues. On arrival, fire officials said two columns had buckled on the 21st and 22nd floors, while floors were sagging between the 21st and 26th floors.
