  1. This all began after breaking down regulations, unions and quality employees who hold certain certifications…….if ya know what I mean. I started off working construction sites all over NYC and they didn't allow just any fly-by-night crew to operate on site!!! NOW?!?!? Good luck finding anyone who speaks English or a Shop Steward on site😂😅😊

  2. And what do ya know, the first person to be interviewed is one of the bidens and dems best friends… biden caused this fire somehow

  3. Bush Jr : this is terrorists attack. Let's go find their WMD.

  12. This is a serious situation.

    People must evacuate safely before a bigger accident occurs.

    The building should be thoroughly inspected.

  13. 11 people hurt. Didn't they clear the area when they saw a giant metal thing on fire above them?

  16. This is just another reason why I don't live in big cities.
