Manhattan building evacuated as officials warn of possible collapse

Authorities evacuated the 37-story former Pfizer headquarters on East 42nd Street and up to nine surrounding buildings during the morning rush in midtown Manhattan. Officials warned of a possible localized collapse after discovering a safety breach and shifting structures. A collapse zone was established near Grand Central Terminal to ensure public safety. No injuries have been reported following the emergency response to the high-profile housing project where floors had reportedly caved in.
