A Manhattan high-rise under construction was deemed stable after columns buckled. The building, a 1970s-era structure being converted into luxury apartments, had been at risk of collapse. Construction workers and people in nearby buildings were evacuated as a precaution.

Nearby buildings included a school, diplomatic offices, and several hotels. Some evacuations were lifted by nighttime, allowing residents to return to their buildings. Further details on the incident are available from the New York City Department of Buildings.
