what am i supposed to be seeing? the unbroken windows?

>>538596440
If you look closely, the entire section sagged, but didn't 'rack' very much.
>>
>>538596556
Nah the sagging roof collapsing down and the bent support column inside
See, the put the red circle there just for people like you

China has the same problem which is why they cap heights of buildings

how do the windows not break?? what kind of looney toon physics is this?

That’s not a beam, that’s me doing a vertical split to show you my dirty asshole.

>>538596123
Such a tiny little column, 10in square looks like a 30ft bay too high load.
>>538596462
>>538596109
Looks like they added 17 floor above that broken column that was previously only holding up a roof load, now with an additional 2,500 kips

Crazy they thought this would work.

THERES AN ENGINEER SOMEWHERE WITH SOME SPLAINING TO DO

China is probably loving this because they have building collapses all the fucking time lol. Their wumaos must be creaming their little panties.

New York is not an American city anymore. It is a third world brown commie shothole. It will just continue to decline. The centers of prosperity are shifting to the Gulf of America. New York will be a dilapidated husk.

I can 100% guarantee there's some guy who spoke up, tried telling executives and was told to shut up because money. That's all it is.

>>538596440
Those are load-bearing windows. How do you think the building is still standing despite the columns buckling?
>>
>>538596806
Glass is quite strong under compression. Those windows are holding up the whole building at this point.
>>
>>538598681
The scary part is that corner columns like this buckled one carry axial loads of only 25% of what the others carry

THE BUILDING IS HIDEOUS TO BEGIN WITH THEY SHOULD TEAR IT DOWN AND MAKE SOMETHING ELSE
>>
>>538598378
>Such a tiny little column
It originally only held the roof.
Then they stacked 11 new floors ontop of it.
>>
>>538596109
Even without new floors, converting an office to residential drastically increases the dead load because suddenly all those open plan cubicle farms are carved up with walls, doors, expensive (read: heavy) furniture and appliances - this is Manhattan after all, and a Mahogany dresser ways more than some shitty particle board desk, as well as all the new plumbing, fixtures, HVAC...
>>
>>538599384
*weighs, not ways ffs
>>
>>538598797
The other columns and slab are holding it for now.

If you like seeing a massive failures with multiple multiple warnings of impending death, NIST just released the final investigation for that condo in florida collapsing 4byears ago that killed 98 jews.

>>
>>538599384
well that makes everything much easier
you just set fire to the office furniture and carpets and the whole building will collapse into its own footprint in a matter of hours
>>
>>538599384
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH CONVERSIONS IS THE PLUMBING PUTTING BATHROOMS EVERYWHERE
ITS A RETARDED IDEA WHICH IS WHY ITS ALMOST NEVER DONE
>>
>hey .. don't sweat it, you have insurance right ?
>>
>>538599125
I count 17 above the failure point
>>
>>538598529

this is what the Jew does .. they run down districts, hold on to property borrowing against the land value to buy more .. they they buy up cheap .. develop and gentrify .. profit

Only they are going to do it to the whole city ... build the bug pods .. build giant supermarkets, put everyone out of business and run it like an open prison camp using ai like a Chinese factory city

I… see what you did there

And now they are currently adding more, dicklet.
>>
>>538596123
How did that colum crumple without anything else having shifted around it? The ceiling should be like a foot lower, the windows should have shattered along with their frames buckling like the column.
>>
>>538600447
No they're notm they're converting the existing space to residential
What a fucking tard, I can only suggest you locate a bridge and jump off iit

It is hideous. Looks like a patchwork for no apparent reason. Like Twoface. No symmetry, and built in a clashing style, because the addition was to make an addition.

Every other person in the usa is a nigger

congrats

this was a huge ass building... the conversion is difficult as it is. why THE FUCK did they have to strap on this retarded looking column? just remodel the insides of the already made, standing building

what the fuck were these jeets/mexicans thinking?

>>538596109
I grew up the son of a construction company owner. That doesnt add any more weight to my opinion on this matter but this project is fundamentally retarded and someone fucked up big time somewhere and I would put cash down on Indians or muh chatbot ai being at least partly responsible

Judging by the OP's description, the behaviour is more typical of a goy. But the Jews won in the end, there's a place for a new building.
