I really want Harlem Hybrid to be a forum for positivity, but I just couldn't ignore the cavalcade of sirens, helicopters and fire trucks that interrupted my daily yoga. Apparently the building next to the 2280 FDB construction site suffered a partial collapse as they were shoring up its southern retaining wall. It does appear there are people trapped underneath the debris on the first floor occupied by Pizzeria 1-2-3. More info as it becomes available. Here's some preliminary pix...
They had been pumping concrete up against the building to shore it up. But I guess the pressure for the retailing wall was too strong...
and it pushed it into Pizzeria 123.
Closeup of the damage.
Another prompt and professional response by the NYPD, FDNY and DOB. I hope everyone is ok.

That is terrible! I hope everything works out. I have to follow this story.
Great pix. Hope 123 doesn't close.
that's insane, i'm glad people got out fast
I hope everyone is okay now. Your photos definitely gave us a complete sense of how serious of an accident. Thanks!
