Нью-Йорк хотын Мидтаун дүүрэгт баригдаж буй 38 давхар барилгын бүтцийн бүрэн бүтэн байдал алдагдсаны улмаас оршин суугчид болон ойролцоох барилгуудыг яаралтай нүүлгэн шилжүүллээ.
Мягмар гарагийн өглөө 08:00 цагийн орчимд барилгын 21-22 дугаар давхрын даацын дам нуруунууд хэвийн бус байдалтай болж, 21-26 дугаар давхрын хоорондох хэсэг унжиж, тоосго унаж эхэлсэн тухай мэдээлэл ирсэн байна. Нөхцөл байдалтай холбогдуулан Нью-Йорк хотын Гал түймэртэй тэмцэх газар (FDNY) 130 гаруй алба хаагч, 40 орчим нэгжийг дайчлан томоохон хэмжээний техникийн аврах ажиллагааг зохион байгууллаа.
Одоогоор хүний амь нас хохирсон, бэртэж гэмтсэн тохиолдол бүртгэгдээгүй бөгөөд барилгад ажиллаж байсан бүх ажилчдыг аюулгүй гаргажээ. Урьдчилан сэргийлэх арга хэмжээний хүрээнд ойролцоох сургууль, зочид буудал зэрэг хэд хэдэн барилгыг нүүлгэн шилжүүлж, 42 болон 43 дугаар гудамжны хэсгийг түр хугацаагаар хаагаад байна.
Хотын захирагч Зоран Мамдани иргэдийн аюулгүй байдлыг нэн тэргүүнд тавьж байгаагаа мэдэгдэв. Холбогдох албаныхан дрон ашиглан барилгын бүтцийн эвдрэлийг нарийвчлан шалгаж байгаа бөгөөд хотын Барилгын газар хэрэг явдлын шалтгааныг тогтоохоор ажиллаж байна.
Тус барилга нь урьд нь Pfizer компанийн оффис байсан бөгөөд одоогоор 1,600 гаруй орон сууц бүхий орон сууцны цогцолбор болон өөрчлөн баригдаж байжээ. Уг төслийг 2027 онд ашиглалтад оруулахаар төлөвлөж байсан юм.

An under-construction high-rise building near New York City’s Grand Central Terminal was evacuated over fears that it would collapse after bricks were reported falling off the 38-story structure.
Emergency responders were called to 235 East 42nd Street just before 8 a.m. Tuesday after workers noticed structural support beams beginning to buckle on the 21st and 22nd floors. Officials also found multiple cracks and that the floors between the 21st and 26th floors were sagging, the New York City Fire Department told The Independent.
The Midtown East building was once home to offices for the pharmaceutical company Pfizer, but is being converted into a residential building with over 1,600 apartments. The project was slated to be completed in 2027.

Approximately 40 units and 130 fire and EMS personnel responded to the scene. There were no reported injuries, the FDNY added.
Several nearby buildings, including a hotel and a school, have been evacuated as a precaution, the FDNY said.

“Luckily, there have been no injuries to report at this time. All workers are accounted for. The building has been evacuated. A number of tall buildings in the area are also being evacuated at this time. A school with about 400 children has also been evacuated and, as a result of all of this, most of 42nd Street and 43rd Street between First and Third avenues have been shut down,” Mamdani said during an unrelated press conference.
Officials are using FDNY drones to examine the building, but their investigation is ongoing.
The New York City Department of Buildings was also at the scene investigating reports of structural issues.
“First responders have advised commuters to avoid the area and use alternate routes,” the agency said.
