No injuries were reported, but construction workers were evacuated amid panic. Workers blame the contractor for failing to properly shore up the structure during a massive renovation that included gutting all 33 floors and adding 16 more. Traffic ground to a halt on Second Avenue and surrounding streets, with commuters facing detours and delays. City inspectors are now on the scene investigating what went wrong.
