Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 63141, member: 636"] A 20-story public housing building in the Bronx suffered a partial collapse on Wednesday morning after a gas explosion destroyed an incinerator shaft, but the city's fire department reported no immediate injuries. The collapse affected one corner of the structure, extending from ground level to the rooftop, and occurred at approximately 8:10 a.m. Nearby residents captured video footage showing a massive dust cloud spreading across the block moments after the incident. The affected shaft was part of an older waste disposal system that once burned trash on site, but most such incinerators have been replaced with trash compactors that continue to use the original chutes.
