BREAKING: Midtown Manhattan high rise evacuated after construction workers discover buckled columns ... sagging floors and falling bricks. 42nd & 43rd streets near 2nd avenue closed as DOB assesses the danger.

Just before at 8 a.m. Tuesday, the FDNY received reports of a structural issue at an active construction site on East 42nd Street between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue in Manhattan. The call came in for reported issues at a 37-story building at 235 East 42nd Street that is currently being converted from a commercial office building into a residential building. FDNY units, as well as representatives from the Department of Buildings and NYC Emergency Management, responded and found structural issues on the 21st floor. Two structural columns buckled, and there were multiple cracks and sagging floors. "It's a very serious situation because the box beams—the steel beams—have started to bend and deflect from the weight," Chief of Department John Esposito said. "We evacuated the building and started evacuations of surrounding buildings. The building has continued to move since we have been on the scene." The FDNY's drones have provided technical information and visuals for partner agencies as assessments are conducted. All workers were accounted for as of 1 p.m. Tuesday. Approximately 150 FDNY fire and EMS members responded to the scene.
