More than 50 people were hurt, dozens with life-threatening injuries, in a massive fire that broke out at an apartment building in New York City.
Videos posted to social media show flames gushing out of multiple windows in the building.
Officials said the fire appears to have originated in a duplex apartment on the building's third floor. Many of the injuries were found on the upper floors, and officials believe smoke inhalation may be to blame."The smoke conditions in this building are unprecedented," he said."This is going to be one of the worst fires we have witnessed here in modern times in the city of New York," Mayor Eric Adams said.
