The Consulate General of Jamaica in New York is one of several buildings in Manhattan that were shuttered after structural columns buckled in a skyscraper under construction, prompting evacuations by emergency services.

According to AFP News, emergency services evacuated a section of East 42nd Street, a busy Manhattan block, during Tuesday morning’s rush hour after structural columns buckled inside a high-rise undergoing renovation.

The incident occurred at the 38-storey former head office of pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, where extensive work is underway to convert the building into residential apartments.
