#NYC #Building #Collapse
Why was the second video clip blurred out?
Someone on one of the floors was taking a shower. 😂
Sad
Symbolic of crumbling America.
Where are the billions for renovation???in Ukraine and in the usual suspect pockets😂both are the one😂
Did that make sense in your head?
@@sandmasterflex dig deeeeeeeeP
I remember that exact complex from when I went on a college choir trip there 10 years ago.
wow
BTW kellyburke, have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest viewing the 13 part series _what on earth happened_ in my about to learn how the earth is not a globe
Why are they blurring out that second angle?
yes
BTW cornus, have you become a flat earther yet? If not I suggest viewing the 13 part series _what on earth happened_ in my about to learn how the earth is not a globe
Someone was taking a shower on one of the floors. 😂
They were having a freak off before they ran outside
OMG
Get the immigrants to clean it up… they’re here to work…
It’s just like you’re watching Biden’s presidency.
You are literally unable to help yourself from making something political
In a matter of hours, you go from having a roof over your head to homeless, and just the clothes on your back, in the winter, and during the holidays. My goodness!!!
Merry Christmas sister.
The USA is not safe.
democracy and stability 😂
If there wasn’t so much bureaucracy by the New York government with their extremely slow approval times for work permits, the construction equipment itself wouldn’t become old enough for this to happen. They probably won’t admit this (this is why places hire large group of contraction people to rush any project, since they have to keep applying for more work permits (aka, more downtime) the longer it takes.
I hope the owner is going be heavy fined and pay for people to be replaced to live. It’s winter Christmas. Just one going be sued. They are going have to to get them money back back for business and homes that people are going have to fine to move to.
omg was that ice spi??
The GOP says we don’t need to spend tax money on infrastructure, that it should be up to private businesses to do this. Well, we see how well that is working. Our whole country is sliding backwards, losing ground to the rest of the progressive world.
This was a private building, it has nothing to do with public infrastructure spending.
Find The Land Lord. Its like the 70’s when all these Bad buildings owned by Land Lords who lived out of town
I’ve never seen anything more New York- in my mind- than the guy that trotted like ten feet, never took his hands out of pockets, then started walking again and didn’t look back again.
I thought I was the only one to see it.
Collapsing buildings & bridges are becoming too common in the US… #Scary
Economic disparity. Decadence. Corrupt bureaucracies. Cultural decay. All of these are rampant in the “Greatest Country on Earth!”
They question if there were warning signs as if the tenants hadn’t most likely complained to their landlord about issues multiple times without getting any help. In one shot you can see someone’s bed right on the edge. Imagine if this had happened during the night…
NYC the scaffolding will not hold, better to fix now then to have Homeless people or just people passing by they as well are in harms way
These ain’t Roman built structures that’s for sure!
I still think it’s wild that no one was in their apartment when this happened. I’m glad no one got injured.
I mean – who would want to linger in a building like that. I bet the tenants saw signs
Maybe they have no internet in that building, no one wants to be in that sheethole.
You dont have to be an expert to see that building was just waiting to fall to the ground, propped up like that. What a disgraceful job owners and council did at ignoring it for so long.
Looks like a third world country.
THANK GOD EVERYONE IS OK. PPL NEED TO PUT MONEY IN THEY’RE PROPERTIES.
This was way more than the scaffolding missing a (mudsill) wedge. The collapse seems to have started on the roof.
I’ll tell you I’m going to tell you what these smarty pants did cuz they don’t know anything about the old New York how they make that that corner supposed to have a gigantic steel girder right in the center either about a foot for that section right there it would have to be around heavy duty cast cast iron pipe that holds the whole the corner on the smarty pants probably thought they could put the the the the the the the the the the scaffolding to hold it while they change it or something like that and they cut they cut the the pipe and boom everything came down that’s why I just came
I know that’s what they did they remove that column so they can put a new one without really bracing it and they they made a terrible mistake buddy boy that holds up that should have worked around it in other words dig down and work around with more steel in where that that girl that was like they do when they’re fixing the train change supports
Or the second situation on this they tried they removed the one that was detained slowly which is the the main steel girder and then while they had the girder they were probably trying to pump it up and bring up the whole section so they can put the bricks lined up together know my friend you don’t play sounds to me a little the next scenario that would be the one
does the building owners last name end in berg, burg, or stein?
All right maybe I do get a little bit carried away okay
Instead of housing illegals, how about NYC builds some new affordable housing for the low income residence. These buildings are at least 100 years old and building standards then are not up to code anymore. I live in a house that is 132 years old and it has more problems than I care to even think about, and uneven floors is the least of the problems.
New York falling apart in every respect.
There are always missed warning signs because NO ONE regulates these slumlords
Trump property???
The whole city is falling apart
WOW 😮
USA should not have this happen. Old age is not the excuse.
So many reasons for a fall down.
Guess them migrants got people to busy to do there job or is it there just imconpent
Was it a Trump building ? we hear he routinely hired contractors he did not pay, claiming their work was shabby….Bah……
America is done😂
On Google earth street view you can see cracking in the bricks from the sidewalk up on that corner of the building and different spots up higher that are missing mortar above it
Cleveland brown yelling “oh no oh no OH NOOO”
Landlords.
I bet the monthly rent for that apartment building is $5000.
This video details a total societal housing collapse, not a building collapsing.
Very 3rd WORLD and with inflated values. That building maybe had a cost of 50 million dollars but in actual terms it’s only USD100,000 😂. Good luck to the USA.
There’s the $2500 a no bedroom no kitchen no bathroom apt goes to the ground y’all great place to live
Mudsill. What on earth is that, it doesn’t sound like a technical term.
This country is a pathetic joke.
0:15 Clean your windows!
Ahh hert laak ugh bik boo
Was it housed with illegal criminal migrants? No big loss…
I wonder are they going to put them in luxury hotels.
That Hair tho!😂
Ice Spice wildin out
Next month the listings will be apartments with 1 less rooms advertised
Tom!
I’ve always wondered how old brick buildings remain standing
Alqarda again?😂😂😂😂
0:13 Spiced Ice 😂
Never just happens out of nowhere. Often happens out of warnings signs gone neglected.
Glad nobody got killed or seriously hurt. Hope those whose homes got damaged can get home life restored soon.
wow that lady is the best witness you can find to put on television I guess there’s slim pickings in New York for people who know how to speak
Mayor Adams looking “distracted” in the back. 🤔Respect to the BX. 💯💪🏾💕
Is Shakira ok?
So this is what those scaffoldings are for.
It was a drug lab and biden was the owner since 1987
Its owned by joe biden and trump
For anybody wondering there was a load bearing column below the building and inspector thought it was just for decoration and removed a couple of bricks from the bottom of it for some reason causing the collapse. He’s been fired and their going over several hundred buildings he’s inspected
That sounds extremely convenient. The city is looking to throw someone under the bus to avoid reckoning with how poorly they enforce regulations in general.
America the trash heap.
Cowboy builders!
Was bush involved again???
Anyone looking into the giant mess that NYC building code laws are? Oh I’m sure it’s all the owners fault and never the government.
little bit tiny taste of how war would be like
So this x 220,000 of domestic homes damaged with 40,000 completely destroyed plus a lot of dead people = Gaza.
But not from a random oversight or neglect, but intentionally, and funded by our tax dollars. Ooh rah.
I will stay away from corner rooms my entire life now
Get with it Landlords and Developers…
American quality
“How did a 100 year old building with an absent landlord who charges sky high rent and who failed to update the facade even after a report was filed, collapse?” I gUeSs We’Ll NeVeR kNoW🤪
Anything made by the hands of humans has to be maintained by them, otherwise nature returns to having its own way with it.
NYC is falling apart, buildings are crumbling over and over. When is the city going to crack down on slumlords? Rent has skyrocketed, yet the quality of housing is a disaster.
Paper thin walls and ceiling
Scaffolding doesn’t hold up a building. The building braces the scaffold. You’re thinking of shoring, which wasnt shown.
Them corner buildings are not very reliable I’ve noticed …
Why do people still try to live in that dying city? Get out and jobs will have to follow!
Everyone forgets what happened in Florida. This is a national crisis and this is what happens when there’s no money to address things.
PRAYERS TO THOSE AFFECTED.
This is what happens when you have corrupt demonrats, judges, cops, inspectors and Prosecutors running ny..
And letting criminals go while using tax payers money for trying to take down Trump..
I feel sorry for those affected but blame demonrats..
New York City has a lot of very old buildings.
Oh so terrible 😢
That’s American quality for you
Reminds me of that tragedy.
