NEW YORK, July 7 (Reuters) - A high-rise building under construction in Manhattan remained at risk of collapse on Tuesday after two of its support columns buckled, officials said as engineers worked to stabilize the building.

A Midtown high-rise whose support columns were discovered buckling Tuesday is “shifting’’ and in danger of partially collapsing — a situation so precarious that crews can’t even go in to stabilize it,

The fire department said the building was sagging between the 21st and 26th floors and two columns have buckled between the 21st and 22nd floors. No injuries have been reported and all construction workers at the building got out safely.
