They added a bunch of additional floors and apparently fricked up in the process of doing it.
That is going to be on the GC for overloading the existing support columns. Some insurance policies have exclusions for structural renovation and/or improper workmanship.

Damn communists take over the city and buildings are already falling down.

The building now appears to be on fire although grok claims this is just dust from the building failing. Looks like fire to me. Black smoke.

Some structural engineers are going to earn their pay just figuring out how to bring that thing down without it being a complete clusterf*ck.

Larry Silverstein already showed them how and they've already begun the process. You just start a fire and then claim that that fire melted all the support columns while you blow it the frick up and then have the media run cover for you and write phony commission reports. Then everyone forgets about it.

Chump change compared to what the phalanx of lawyers who handle the litigation generated by this will earn. In the end, several more bankruptcy lawyers will pick over the bones.

Here is a local steamfitter talking about what led to this and what it's going to take to stabilize the building, if they can.

How can the support beams be bent that bad and the light metal and glass windows have no damage? Are those buildings supposed to have several structural redundancies so that one or two failures would not cause a total failure?

That Steamfitter dude is saying the windows are broken, the drywall is falling, the concrete floors are falling apart, etc.

Well, that and the usual boilerplate about wages, profits, and da union.
If they had hired da union, none of this woulda happened.

Well, something obviously got fricked up. It sounds like it was under-engineered. Who knows if the iron workers union he talked about would have done it better. What's clear is that whoever did the work didn't do it right. Make of it what you will.
