BREAKING: A structurally compromised Midtown Manhattan high-rise has been stabilized after fears that it would collapse, New York City Department of Buildings Commissioner Ahmed Tigani said Tuesday night. "We are feeling confident that many of the emergency shoring measures that have been put in place...are stabilizing the situation," Tigani... said during a press conference. "If there is any movement or if we sense any movement, we have protocols in place to make sure we're quickly removing people outside the building to evaluate and reassess."show more

This guy has no engineering or architect education. He's a flucking former diversity officer.

Tigani has a Bachelor's degree in theatre. NO ENGINEERING CREDENTIALS WHATSOEVER.

Look at the pictures and video of the bent and broken beams, listen to this guy talk and then tell me that building is secure. Meanwhile we’ll be over here placing bets on when it collapses.

The building is perfectly fine, people. The commies are in charge of the situation.

Nobody should ever live or work in that building, more shocking is the silence (at least over here) on who is the contractor/ construction firm, is there a history of other issues, is it DEI hire

I suspect the ONLY chance New York has to resolve this crisis is to ask Trump to fix it.

NY Bent Beams been stabilized and re-educated. No to straight.

Another Mamdani appointee telling you everything is under control. Trust him the same way you're supposed to trust Mamdani's claims that crime is at historic lows while shootings have dominated the headlines this past month. If it were me, I'd be staying far away from that building until it's proven safe.

Yehhhh as someone in construction for 14 years I wouldn’t go back in that building.

Not trusting a fella by the name of Ahmed when discussing structurally compromised buildings is pretty high on my priority list.

To be safe, I’ll walk a few blocks away — and avoid the 7 line which runs underneath.

Oh yeah, we got this.

Sets of eyes... Shouldn't they install lasers that go point to point to detect movement that cannot be detected by eyes or a feeling 🤦‍♂️

The emergency shoring…

Two guys looking like they just got off the boat from Egypt whose only experience in structural engineering is in erecting 1-floor mud huts. Expect a disaster and, afterward, finger pointing at the President.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 let it fall, tear it down, don’t ever let anyone in it from now on…. I can see lawsuits coming if that thing stands and is occupied

A terrorist telling us that everything is gonna be ok.

How can we make this Trumps fault? ... asking for a Democrat.

They going to have to demolish the building and build a new one, Trump can help ya out on that he's built plenty buildings in NYC

Ahmed is in charge ?? Hoohahhaa, this clown show in NYC is beyond fantasy. I couldnt sit and right out a way to make fun of this mob any better then just letting them do them

Trump Tower is now the Leaning Tower of New York. It was erected but it's falling over since he's getting old.

I guess Larry Silverstein didn't own this one, eh?

Democrats are really hell bent on normalizing making these people the new face of USA. There is really a concerted effort to make America the next caliphate-UK.

new york stabilizing this old high rise mid conversion shows how cities with so much aging infrastructure keep walking a tightrope between redevelopment and sudden structural risks

Hahahahahaha. He’s never even been a laborer, never mind an engineer. What a fucking joke. He’s another commie schemer with a theatre degree.

Who in the hell feels confident moving into that fucking building you’re an idiot

Good news that the stabilization efforts appear to be working. Hoping everyone stays safe as crews continue to monitor the building closely.

New York is doomed one way or another; it has reached the tipping point regarding its non-white population. Welcome to the third world!

any chance there could be a white, straight, male official in NYC?

I would still get wayyyyyyyyy away from that building. If I lived there, I'd be getting a hotel, someway, somehow!

A structurally compromised skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan has reportedly been stabilized after fears of a possible collapse. Good news: no injuries. But the question remains: What is happening with these buildings? Support columns buckle. Floors sag. Nearby streets close. Emergency shoring goes up. Engineers rush in. Officials say the situation is stabilizing. But why did it get this close in the first place? Bad planning? Too much weight? Weak reinforcement? Inspection failures? Construction pressure? Cost-cutting? When a skyscraper in one of the busiest cities on earth starts moving, people deserve more than reassurance. They deserve answers. Because infrastructure is not a luxury. It is public safety. “The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.” — Proverbs 22:3

It needs to be DEMOLISHED, the owner and contractor need to be made to pay all costs of demolition AND rebuilding PROPERLY and SAFELY!!!

another building about to go tits up. shocker. infrastructure upkeep is apparently a luxury item now.

I was expecting an ALOHA SNACK BAR at the end of his speech to prove the building is safe...🤥
