This 37-storey tower in Manhattan has been evacuated after at least two structural columns buckled on its 21st floor. Formerly the headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, the building at 235 East 42nd Street had been undergoing renovation work to convert it from office space to more than 1,600 high-end... apartments — including the addition of four new floors and the extension of several other levels. Fire crews were called to reports of falling masonry at the site on Tuesday morning local time. A 'frozen-zone' was established from 40th to 45th Streets and from First to Third Avenues, which saw the area closed to vehicle and pedestrian traffic and buildings evacuated. New York City Buildings Commissioner Ahmed Tigani reassured New Yorkers on Tuesday night that the building was stable. The building renovation project, designed by Gensler for Metro Loft and David Werner Real Estate, had been due to complete in 2027. It's understood that the general contractor is 235 GC LLC with GACE as structural engineers.show more

NEW: NYC buildings evacuated after workers spot buckling support beams that “are bending like cigarettes.” The Midtown high-rise was evacuated after the support beams buckled and floors started caving in, sending bricks falling from the sky during rush hour. The building is undergoing construction to add 10 floors, converting office space into apartments. Local 638 Steamfitter Cliff Johnsen said, “The I-beams are bending like cigarettes in there, which is super dangerous.” Surrounding buildings were ordered to be evacuated, including a school with over 400 children, due to fears the building might collapse. NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated, “I would say that beyond that, just for those in the immediate area to follow the instructions of those on the ground, we have seen evacuations not only of the building, but of surrounding buildings, as well as a nearby school. And I believe those actions are appropriate at this time.”

Businesses in Mombasa have been at a standstill for the better part of Wednesday as military personnel took control of the area surrounding a nine-storey building along Abdel Nasser Road, which is set for controlled demolition. A 1.2km buffer zone has been set up around the building as authorities finalize preparations for its demolition. The building was declared structurally unsound after a partial collapse last week, which raised immediate safety issues for nearby residents and surrounding structures. In response, all residents have been evacuated, with precautionary measures in place to ensure their safety. Patients from Coast General Teaching & Referral Hospital have also been advised to seek medical services in alternative hospitals during the affected period to avoid any risks associated with the operation. The public has been urged to stay clear of the vicinity for the next eight hours, as the demolition is carried out. Emergency services, including ambulances and fire trucks, are on standby to handle any unforeseen events during the controlled explosion. The collapse is believed to have been caused by the addition of extra floors, which added more weight than the foundation could support. The drilling of a borehole near the building led to the floor columns sinking by three meters and further compromised the structure's integrity. As a result, the decision was made to bring the building down using controlled explosions.

Deadly Bronx Apartment Fire Leaves Dozens Homeless At least 76 people have been left homeless after a deadly apartment fire tore through a five-story building in the Bronx on Tuesday afternoon, killing two people and injuring nearly a dozen others. The blaze broke out around 1:30 p.m. on East 187th Street between Belmont and Cambreleng avenues, rapidly spreading from the first floor to the upper levels. The identities of the victims have not yet been released, and at least two of the injured remain in serious condition. Firefighters encountered intense flames that quickly climbed the stairwell, eventually causing parts of the roof and stair structure to collapse. Crews shifted to exterior rescue operations, saving multiple residents from windows and fire escapes. More than 250 first responders worked for hours to bring the five-alarm fire under control. The American Red Cross is assisting displaced residents, including dozens of adults and children, as fire marshals continue investigating the cause of the blaze. VIA: Eyewitness News

Just after 11:30 Wednesday night, the FDNY responded to a 5-alarm fire at 481 Van Brunt Street in Brooklyn. Units arrived in under three minutes. Over 250 firefighters and EMS personnel responded. Two firefighters were transported with minor injuries. “This building is a very large, four story commercial building. Upon arrival, we had heavy fire on the second, third, fourth floor, and through the roof. Due to the amount of fire and the structural stability of the building, we removed our members and attacked the fire from the exterior, from the front and the rear with large caliber streams. The rear of this building is on the water, so we called in Marine 9, and we used some of their large caliber streams to extinguish the fire,” said Chief of Operations Kevin Woods. FDNY Fire Marshals are working to determine the cause of the fire.

Shortly after midnight on February 27, 1975, the FDNY was called to the New York Telephone Building in Manhattan after a company employee noticed smoke on the first floor. 50 years later, this fire is still remembered for its toxic impact on FDNY members and the neighborhood. “This was the beginning of one of the most difficult fires that has ever confronted the New York City Fire Department. Before this fire would be declared under control, more than 16 hours later, over 700 firefighters from 72 units would operate at this blaze,” then Deputy Chiefs Roger Rodriguez and Elmer Chapman in a 1975 article about the operation. “The suppression of this fire was made very difficult by the heavy toxic smoke which reduced vision to inches and dictated the use of masks even for street operations. Another factor was the maze-like floor layouts and the ability of the frames to contain the beat during the fire, and after the fire was extinguished. Stripped of their insulation, the banks of wire glowed and radiated heat like a giant toaster – a toaster with an area of close to 30,000 square feet on each floor.” More than 235 members were injured. Years later, many members developed long term health effects and cancer from the fire and exposure to the toxins it produced.

❗️⚠️🇺🇸 - A gas explosion rocked a Bronx apartment building this morning, triggering a partial collapse in the Mott Haven neighborhood. A New York City official confirmed no injuries have been reported so far. Firefighters and police swarmed the scene at the 20-story NYCHA Mitchel Houses on Alexander Avenue, where the blast—believed to have originated in the incinerator shaft—caused significant structural damage around 8:15 a.m. Residents were swiftly evacuated as emergency teams from the FDNY, NYPD, NYC Buildings Department, and Department of Environmental Protection assessed the site. The rest of the building remains stable, with no residential units directly impacted, though a nearby underground water main also ruptured in the incident.

⚠️ Traffic Alert: There is “chaos” on Clifftown Road in Southend city centre this afternoon, while workers start to clear up rubble that fell from a building yesterday. A police cordon remains in place on Clifftown Road after part of a building collapsed above SAKS bar. But the road has reportedly not been closed at Chichester Road, leading to drivers not realising the road is closed and vehicles having to turn around outside Southend Central train station. Two people were injured by the falling debris as they walked past. Thankfully, neither required hospital treatment after being assessed by ambulance crews at the scene. Ruhul Shamsuddin, founder of Lordsons on Clifftown Road, said: "It was inches from a tragedy. Sunday afternoon, families and kids everywhere, and if it had fell a few feet over we would be talking about something far worse than a shut road. “We got very lucky. Now it’s chaos out here, the road is closed, cars turning round in the street, and every business on the stretch is taking the hit." The cordon remains in place today because of concerns that more masonry could fall while specialist structural engineers assess the building. If you're heading into the area, avoid Clifftown Road until the building is made safe.
