1
00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Today's Daily Highlight from Elvis Duran in the Morning Show.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 2: There is this skyscraper apartment building they're building down in

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: the Seaport district, and it's like a I think it

4
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: was slated to be what the tallest apartment building in

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: America at least I think, so okay, right, scary you

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: sent the story out yesterday.

7
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: Yes, it's supposed to be the tallest.

8
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 2: And one hundred and something stories whatever. Well, it's starting

9
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 2: to lean. It's not finished yet, and there's some apartments

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: in this place are supposed to be like a hundred

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: million dollars apartments. I think. Whatever people, No, no, no, there's

12
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 2: still but apparently there's some kind of shifting in the

13
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: ground underneath a hundred stories below down from the from

14
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 2: the penthouse. So it started it started to lean toward

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: the seaport.

16
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 3: They were saying there was something unstable in the foundation.

17
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 3: So all construction is halted and now it's all these

18
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: lawsuits flying and there's a lot of finger pointing and

19
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 3: who's to blame for this? So they don't know when

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: this project is even gonna get done because they say

21
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: it leans a little bit more every single day.

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, people already bought like complex. Well, you know, right, yeah, yeah,

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: I guess, like what do you do? I mean, my

24
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: feeling is I don't know much about construction. If it's

25
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: one hundred and something stories, they're probably gonna have to

26
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: take that down, thank you.

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: And if you look at the pictures of it, it

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: looks like it's already crumbling.

29
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: So definitely it's in construction.

30
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: Fact, this building looks like it's cursed, so it's I

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: think it's going to be sixty one stories and a

32
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: construction worker fell to his death there. In twenty seventeen,

33
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: a crane operator smashed a concrete bucket into the thirty

34
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: fourth floor, damaging the deck and dropping material on the

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: street below.

36
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 2: Let it go.

37
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: The FDN why has declared it a fire hazard. A

38
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: contractor is suing the developer accused the contractor of filing

39
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: a lawsuit to draw attention away from their inability to

40
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 1: finish the project. But it just seems like it's one

41
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: thing after another, let me.

42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Tell you, especially after what happened with the World Trade

43
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Center towers. Here on nine to eleven, we're looking at apartments.

44
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 2: If it's above second floor, I get a little nervous.

45
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to go. I don't want to be higher.

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: And we live on the twelfth floor of our building,

47
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 2: and I get sometimes I'm like, well, I gotta get

48
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: two dogs and get out of here. If there's a problem,

49
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: God forbid. But you know, so you buy, ah, let's

50
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: get let's get a palace in the sky. One hundred

51
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,399
Speaker 2: floors up. You can see as far as I can see. Well,

52
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: not while you're falling into the ocean. You can't.

53
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, this is my worst night, America.

54
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 2: You live way up there.

55
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm way high up in the sky, and I am

56
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: always like, oh my god, what if the foundation isn't solid.

57
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: We see all these stories all the time. Whenever it's

58
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: windy or there's a storm and I feel something, I'm like,

59
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: this is it? Oh no, I love it up there.

60
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: But also there's there's a like a building that's built

61
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: over is it the GW Bridge that it's like on top?

62
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have the apartments. Every time I go under

63
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: the GW Bridge, I think, I wonder how stable well

64
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: they've been there for many years. They're probably doing okay,

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: I hope. So I think all those people listening to

66
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: them right now as they're getting ready for work. So maybe, yes,

67
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 2: they're good. You're good. I do worry there's a super

68
00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: highway below you, but no problem.

69
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 1: You're fine. They also say that this building is leaning

70
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: because it was constructed using soil improvement methods instead of

71
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: a piling method used by all the other skyscrapers.

72
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: Whatever that means. It sounds bad.

73
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: Don't do it again.

74
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: Anyways. They halted construction of this thing a long time ago.

75
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,119
Speaker 2: But we're just we're looking for an apartment for Nate,

76
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: and we're thinking maybe that I bet you get a

77
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: good deal in that penthouse, I think so. I mean,

78
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 2: do you think they'll have some sort of rider in

79
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 2: the contract where you have to have all of your

80
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: furniture on one side of the apartment. You don't have

81
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: to do it. It'll probably move the furniture on its own.

82
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: It's like when you sit down to eat and you

83
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 2: put your boiled egg on the table and it rolls off.

84
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: How much did I pay for that? Anyway? Good luck

85
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: with that interesting the leaning Tower of Pisa, if ever

86
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: they would you ever go into that? I would never

87
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: walk into the Leaning Tower. I don't even want to

88
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: be near it, because you know, you know they have

89
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 2: that Jenga building downtown on the Leonard Street, and we

90
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: figured if that thing falls, it may hit our apartment.

91
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: I don't think it's I think it's very well constructed,

92
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 2: as you were waking there, right up there, right now

93
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: and brushing your teeth. Anyway, we got to move on.

94
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,119
Speaker 2: We live in a city where we don't have room

95
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: to move out. We move up. Bad idea Arty
