'The building remains unstable': Mamdani briefs on high-rise with buckling beams

A 37-story high-rise apartment complex in Midtown Manhattan remains structurally unstable and faces a potential collapse after two support beams began buckling on Tuesday morning. New York City officials have ordered mass evacuations to ensure safety. Mayor Zohran Mamdani stated that stabilization work will commence once the floor is deemed safe for crews. Emergency responses are ongoing as the building continues to be monitored due to the critical failure of its structural support beams.
