The Fire Department and other agencies are responding to a building collapse on 8th Avenue in Manhattan. The facade of a building between 14th and 15th Streets seemed to have collapsed, exposing the apartments on the top two floors. Update: Check out video below!
The building is a four story building at 92 8th Avenue, with a Muscle Maker Grill on the ground floor. Meg Robertson Tweeted, "Firefighters went in and rescued the residents. Some residents said same thing happened to same building 20 years ago."
The FDNY Tweeted, "There are no injuries or people trapped at 92 8th Ave building collapse, which involved the facade of the structure."
