"A portion of a 20-story public housing apartment building in the Bronx partially collapsed Wednesday morning following a reported gas explosion, leaving a corner of the structure a pile of rubble. The New York City Fire Department ( FDNY) confirmed it was responding to the emergency at the Mitchel Houses building after receiving reports of a gas explosion that caused the collapse of an incinerator shaft."
"The incident occurred around 8:10 a.m., sending a large cloud of dust billowing over the block, as captured in videos shared by nearby residents. Miraculously, the FDNY said there were no immediate reports of injuries. City police, who received 911 calls just after 8 a.m., confirmed that upon arrival, officers "observed a partial building collapse" extending from the ground floor all the way to the roof."
