When you build a building on top of three other buildings and you’re not supposed to build another building on top of them
@
They should be checking all building constructed by the same contractors.

NY mayor is amazing. He's just what we need.
@
That building is literally a representation of the USA now
@
Maybe all the beams should be checked in Manhattan
@
I thought this only happened in China. Is this that American exceptionalism I heard about?
@
Office space steel construction was always built for light use and short time spans were never meant to last.
@
Well, they said they fixed it overnight. This will be interesting.
@
Surprise... Mean while they are charging probably $3500 for a one bedroom with only 355 SQ FT
@
Seems silly to park emergency vehicles right in front of it.
@
The engineer with the blue hat, also said, he blames them putting profit over everything, and thats why it's failing.
@
The floor involved is failing because the renovation crew screwed up. They may have loaded tons of heavy building supplies like drywall or stone flooring tiles in the wrong location or too closely together. These sorts of failures are rarely the result of just one f-up, it’s usually a few different things that happen at the sane time. The construction crew is non-union and the union guys are loving it.
@
Why are there so many vehicles and people so close by? That is the question.😮😢
@
Just wait. All those buildings from the 20’s, 30’s are getting very old together.
@
The building going to collapse lets stand next to it
@
New York is rotting. Everything is old. Pipes, electrics, beams,
@
Funny hat competition.
@
They could use the "CHIEF of department's" hat to prop it up, that thing is massive!

Pfizer moves out and the building looses its erection.
You couldn’t make this up.
@
How many other buildings are bending? It can’t possibly be the only one
