New York City Fire, Building Collapse Injure Several People

NEW YORK (AP) — An apartment building on fire near New York University collapsed on Thursday, two nearby buildings began burning and several people were injured, firefighters said. Orange flames and black smoke billowed from the facade and roof of the five-story building in Manhattan, near several NYU buildings and the Washington Square Park area. The area was being evacuated, and the city's health department advised residents to keep their windows closed because of the smoke. Freelance photographer Michael Seto said he could feel the explosion in his apartment, about 1 ½ blocks away.
