An explosion rocked a New York City Housing Authority high-rise in the Bronx on Wednesday morning, causing an entire corner of the building to collapse. Emergency crews rushed to the scene on Alexander Avenue after the collapse, which officials said was triggered by an apparent blast in a ventilation shaft connected to the boiler. No injuries have been reported. #collapse #nyc | CGTN
