Over the weekend, New Orleans Fire Department superintendent Tim McConnell described the building as “unstable” after the initial incident, noting that “a collapse is still possible.” That risk has prompted officials to expand an evacuation area to include several surrounding blocks, closing streets and temporarily moving local residents of the area into hotels.Ĭitadel Builders told the Post that it would investigate the incident.
Those rescue and recovery efforts have been complicated by two damaged cranes at risk of falling.
