A construction site in Manhattan was evacuated Tuesday morning after structural support beams on the 21st floor buckled, leading to street closures and a significant emergency response. The New York Fire Department (FDNY) received reports of falling bricks from the building at 235 East 42nd Street, which is being converted into a luxury rental complex with 1,500 units. No injuries were reported, but workers on the 21st floor observed the columns starting to give way. As a precaution, at least nine nearby buildings were also evacuated. Investigations by the Department of Buildings and NYPD are ongoing.
