"Take Me Home, Country Roads," a song about a longing for home (co-written by a songwriter who had never even been in West Virginia), has been embraced by the Mountain State in a big way, and has since been appropriated by singers around the world looking for their very own "place I belong."
@conorknighton looks into the genesis and global impact of John Denver's first big hit; and with country star Brad Paisley about the special pull the song has for him. (Originally broadcast Dec. 26, 2021.) https://t.co/oOb64UHxi2

.@THECITY found evidence of 9 worker injuries at the Pfizer project from the last 18mos, before Tuesday’s debacle. In each of those cases, the gen contractor apparently failed to inform city authorities the injuries ever happened. W/ @gregbsmithnyc https://t.co/UvaOoG5HQq
Workers have claimed that the project at 235 East 42nd Street was not safe - even before two columns caved in.

Update on former Pfizer building:
DOB has stated the building is in a “consistent, stable, safe situation", with no movement since yesterday.
Crews have been able to enter and perform emergency shoring up measures, which stabilized the directly impacted floors. A third-party engineer verified the current stable condition. As of 10:15am this morning, shoring measures have been installed on floors 18-23, with 17 and 24 underway. Crews will continue to work up to the roof and down to floor 9.
The frozen zone has been shrunk to 42nd and 43rd sts between Second and Third aves, with both aves open to traffic now. Some buildings within the frozen zone remain under evacuation orders. People who live or work within the frozen zone will be permitted to enter, granted their homes or workplaces are not part of the ongoing evacuation order.
Buildings still under evacuation orders:
815 2nd Ave
235 E 43rd St
231 E 43rd St
225 E 43rd St
217 E 43rd St
DOB now has a plan in place focusing on maintaining stability over the next several days as they continue to extend stabilization measures to additional areas of the building.
As of now no cause has been determined for the structural damage, but the affected area is below a “bump out” section added to the building during construction which horizontally extended the 23rd through the 32nd floors. DOB, NYCEM, NYPD and FDNY will continue to provide updates in the coming hours and days as the situation evolves.
After columns buckled and floors caved in at a high-rise under construction in Manhattan, the question now is, how did this happen? What we know and what's still under investigation: https://t.co/nLyPsjgdDC
Buckling building in Midtown NYC will face partial demolition - but even stabilizing it beforehand will be highly risky: experts https://t.co/yyFfh40vjg
This is why the Midtown Manhattan building was evacuated. They were adding 16 floors, the local iron fitters lost the bid because the building owners wanted to save money.
Steel was scrimped on, which by the way, is needed to support the structure.
At this point there’s no need for hard hats if you enter this building, just plenty of life insurance.
Breaking: The developer in charge of converting a Manhattan office high-rise into apartments said new additions caused the building to buckle. https://t.co/X2fA8pDjzG
The developer working to convert the midtown building that caved in into a residential complex is speaking out.
Here's what they had to say: https://t.co/zcaOgMdydx
New York City officials revealed new details Tuesday about the structural failure at Manhattan's largest office-to-residential conversion project, saying buckled steel beams were located directly beneath a 10-story expansion designed to widen the building's upper floors: https://t.co/89XPmwtwKm
