@abc7ny: Several floors of a Midtown Manhattan office building that's under construction are caving in on Tuesday, prompting the evacuation of several adjacent buildings and street closures. Go to abc7ny.com or tap the link for more. #nyc #news
They added 11 floors to this building during the renovation. They did not properly reinforce the lower floors.

Honest question: Does the US/NY not have building codes that begin at the blueprint and engineering stage? Isn’t it common sense that if you’re going to add 11 floors to a building that the lower structure needs to be able to support it?

Many contractors are using cheap supplies, and doing whatever they want, they don’t care about what the engineers say
