A Manhattan High-Rise is On Fire
A 36-story building at 500 West 43 St. in Manhattan caught fire this morning, as seen in the video above, which was taken around noon ET. Flames were seen shooting out of a 20th floor apartment. Twitter user @MickeyAtwal said that he and his family were stuck on the 26th floor because the elevators were not working and the hallways were too smoky, but it seems as if residents above the fire is safe.
According to an FDNY spokesperson, two people were critically injured in the fire and taken to the hospital. The fire is now said to be under control.
