Terrified workers fled a soaring new Manhattan skyscraper after experiencing a huge 'shake' run through the building, that made it feel as if its floors were collapsing.
One Vanderbilt, a $3.31 billion tower which sits just north of Grand Central train terminal in Midtown Manhattan, was struck by the tremor on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesman for One Vanderbilt said the shaking was due to repair work on the elevators, and there were no injuries as the public viewing platform was closed.

Just me but I don't think elevator repairs, would cause such a tremor.

Nah, sounds like a more troubling problem than just that.
I wonder how many people who work in that tower will say “no, thanks” to coming back in to work tomorrow.

Maybe it was fallout from the drop in the value of the property?

Vanderbilt Towers is crumbling.
Sounds like a metaphor for what is coming for the globalist oligarchs.

"It felt like the floors dropped 5 feet" What felt like 5 feet was probably a vibration of a couple inches.

Who owns the building?
Hopefully, not Larry Silverstein.

They were testing the elevators to see if the recoil springs mounted on the bottom of the elevators worked after dropping them from the tenth floor.

Yes, they’re assessing how high the elevators bounce from a dead drop from the 10th floor down the shaft. It seems to have caused a lot of excitement.
