This building was supposed to be collapsing within the first couple weeks of the WTC.

They didn’t shore it up – engineers checked it out and found out it was in fact structurally sound.
At the time, reporters were freaking out because some of the building’s windows were popping off. But evidentally losing windows doesn’t equate to imminent collapse.
Great, thanks!
So, it looks like no other buildings will be falling. What a relief!
Also, it’s One Liberty Plaza, not Place.
It will reopen (sorta) on Monday. Here’s an article about it:
I used to work on the 52nd floor!
