- New York City high-rise now stable after columns buckle, raising concerns of a collapse
A 37-floor high-rise in midtown Manhattan remains blocked off after columns buckled, prompting evacuations and stabilization efforts. Officials confirm the structure is stable, with temporary shoring installed on floors 18-23. The building, formerly Pfizer's headquarters, is being converted into a 1,600-unit luxury apartment as part of a national trend of office-to-residential conversions.
