- ‘Buckling’ beams at NYC building under construction trigger evacuations
Evacuations were ordered at a 33-story building under construction in Midtown Manhattan after structural beams on the 21st floor began buckling, causing upper floors to sag and bricks to fall. The incident disrupted public transportation and led to evacuations of adjoining buildings, though no injuries were reported.
