Nearby buildings. Most buildings in this area are businesses that have been evacuated. We just received an update from the Fire Department and they believe there is no imminent danger. The crane and concrete slabs are secure. Building inspectors took a look at it and do not believe they are at risk of falling. Lets hear what the fire captain had to say. At this time, again, our job as the Fire Department is to ensure the safety of our public. We have shared the statement thats come out from the contractors and i know there is terms in there that are stating safe and no imminent danger. Weto err on the other side and we have to make sure everybody is safe. Reporter its unclear how long this situation will remain. The surrounding area is blocked off. The companys area is flying in from Washington State to look at the situation. There will be another update at 7 00 p. M. Live in San Francisco, lillian kim, abc 7 news. Okay. Thanks very much. We are joined on the phone by Structural Engineer mason walters. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. What can you explain to us, your understanding of what is happening on top of this building . It looks as though it looks as though there is a pet House Construction penalthou construction. Its a relatively smaller structure that was being constructed and also it looks like the crane on top of that structure is actually being supported by the same system, and that one corner of that may have been compromised. Looks like the Northeast Corner is actually, you know, sunk and correspondingly, the structure is leaned and twisted towards the north. But it isnt hanging over the street. It looks like its you know, it looks like its fairly stable at the moment, but there is no telling what would happen, you know, if the winds came up or something else. Mason, i think youre right from what our understanding is that crane is attached to the actual slab that is has shifted. Two quick questions. What would have caused this to happen in your experience, and what do you do about it . Well, it could have been a failed element in the crane support. Cranes are, you know, big Dynamic Structures that tend to weigh a lot. This crane looks like it was a concrete pumping boom and it put a lot of stress on the systems that support them. So if one you know, one small connection failed, it can mean a big shift in a platform like this. And how do they go about getting this situation fixed . Are they doing . Tell us that. I would think the general contractor is bringing in a team to brace the parts of the structure that appear to be unstable. As well as working with the engineers to get an opinion yn of where to apply the bracing to most quickly stabilize the structure. And mason, very quickly, one last question, i dont know if you can do a scale of one to ten, but how dangerous do you think it is to the buildings below and nearby, what is the likelihood this could turn get worse . You know, i cant comment on that. I really am looking at the same information everyone else is. Im just k llooking through the eyes of an engineer. Its not hanging through the edge of the building. There is a setback thats apparently given it a buffer space or margin of safety from falling. Okay. Great. All right. Structural engineer mason walters, thank you so much for talking to us and giving us perspective on what is happening there. Appreciate it. Great information. The developer for that building on tehama street, the 2,000pound slab of concrete of fall something false. A statement from heinz real estate says an interior forming system had a partial hydraulic failure but that interior forming system and the concrete placement arm have been secured and are being evaluated by engineers to bring it back to level. This shows what the finished project at 33 tehama should look like. Its a project of the heinz Real Estate Development and Investment Firm based in houston with an office here in San Francisco. Construction began in 2015. When complete, it will be 278,000 square feet and include retail and art space. Its 35 stories high with 403 apartment units. For a closer look at the trouble spot of the building. Lets children to christian. It takes us to the 30th floor where this is happening. You can see engineers looking at the concrete slab thats become loose. Im going to pause it as we look at this wider view because what you see here, this right there, that is the crane were talking about. Its the one thats part of the hydraulic lift system that this whole thing is a part of where a strut holding up this crane failed and that caused it to push down on this concrete structure right there causing it to become loose from the pressure. All right. So now that we have a better sense for that, lets go ahead and continue to see the sloped angle that this whole top floor is now as a result. Also want to pause it here for you. There is a secondary crane there, the outside crane. That we should point out is fine, not in danger. You see this whole thing, a buffer zone you heard the engineer talk about. I do want you to imagine this. Should anything fall, were absolutely talking about a 30story drop. So they dont want to take any chances and again, so much going on in that area and here is another great view of the crane right there. So they are going to be cautious. In the meantime, ama, you will talk about streets that are closed right now as a result. Yeah. Definitely impacting traffic. Christian, thank you. We can take a wider view of the impact. The red parts you see there, that is your slowest traffic. Hardly moving at all and that is approaching the bay bridge and also on the bay bridge and this is going to be like this for sometime tonight. Oh, boy, it sure is. Live Team Coverage continues with Cornell Bernard who has been talking with people who had to evacuate buildings, cornell . Dan and ama, a lot of folks definitely wishing they had stayed home tonight. Still a lot of frustration, confusion and, you know, a little bit of fear, too, among those who work in the shadow of 33 tehama. This is a live shot from howard street. This is as far as you can go near the building. 16 buildings surrounding 33 tehama have been evacuate diseaseed as a precaution. Those went smoothly but not everybody got the information they needed to get out and stay out. Some still wondering what is going on. Many are definitely wondering when they can go back in. Listen to this. We were trying to get in a building literally right across the street, and i guess the whole building got evacuated. It was definitely a little jarring at first but were happy that they are being safe and evacuating people. Like i said, its a nuisance but at the same time, everybody is being safe and thats important. The concrete slab is right now is going sideways so that they tried to figure out how they way to fix the problem. Now, that man you just heard from is a construction worker. He works on the chantransbay terminal building. He says the is tsituation looks much worse than it looks but firefighters say thats not the case and for now all is safe. Lets come back live here to the financial district where it is carmegdon. So many cars trying to get out of the financial district. If youre anywhere near considering coming down here tonight, dont do it. Stay away. Take Public Transportation because it is a royal mess. Coming off the bay bridge, the fremont street exit is also closed. So just getting here will be a very, very big challenge and when this area will be opened up again, its anybodys guess.
