A Midtown Manhattan high-rise building was evacuated Tuesday morning after authorities said it was at risk of collapsing. The 38-story building at 235 East 42nd Street was once the corporate headquarters for the pharmaceutical company Pfizer.
The 37-story Manhattan building was under construction when two support columns on the 21st floor buckled. Engineers are developing plans to reinforce the structure.
