TL;DR

An illegal 60-foot tunnel beneath the Chabad-Lubavitcher headquarters in Brooklyn has compromised the stability of two buildings, leading city officials to order temporary evacuations and issue citations for work conducted without a permit. Chaos erupted when a group of students protested the filling of the tunnel, resulting in arrests and charges. Inspectors also ordered a nearby building to be vacated due to fire concerns after walls were found to have been removed.
