No injuries or deaths reported as Bronx high-rise building partially collapses with a ‘loud boom’​

An explosion at a New York City apartment building blew off a floor-to-roof chunk of the high-rise – terrifying local residents in the Bronx.


It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion and partial collapse of the building on Alexander Avenue.


A ventilation shaft connected to the boiler collapsed, the commissioner of the Fire Department of New York said. “We believe that’s where the explosion occurred,” but that’s for investigators to determine, Commissioner Robert Tucker said.
