A gas explosion at a New York City high-rise apartment building sparked a partial collapse of the structure, raining debris on the street below. Miraculously, no injuries or fatalities have been reported, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) told CNN by phone. The FDNY told the Associated Press that the explosion caused an incinerator shaft to cave in, but no residential units were affected. “New Yorkers, I have been briefed about the emergency situation taking place in the Mott Haven area of the Bronx,” NYC Mayor Eric Adams posted on his office X account. Please avoid the area for your safety.”New Yorkers, I have been briefed about the emergency situation taking place in the Mott Haven area of the Bronx.
