One Vanderbilt skyscraper experiences massive vibrations in NYC.
Workers repairing an elevator at the One Vanderbilt skyscraper in Manhattan caused a huge shake to ripple through the building, prompting some workers to evacuate. The $3.31 billion tower, which opened in September 2020, features a three-floor summit observation deck and is home to multiple blue-chip banking, law, and tech firms. The public viewing platform was closed at the time of the incident, and there were no injuries reported. The cause of the shaking was attributed to elevator repair work, and the building's management assured occupants that there was no danger to the building.
