Manhattan high-rise remains unstable after columns buckle, forcing evacuations

A Manhattan high-rise, formerly the Pfizer headquarters, remains unstable after several columns buckled, necessitating immediate evacuations. The 1970s-era office building is currently undergoing conversion into luxury apartments. Located in a busy corridor, the structure is situated near New York City landmarks, including the Chrysler Building and Grand Central train station. Authorities continue to monitor the site as the building's structural integrity remains compromised following the failure of the supporting columns.
