The building was aware of this problem and was addressing it. (Like countless other buildings currently dealing with the same problem.) Notice the scaffolding already in place. Let's not turn a molehill into a mountain here. Most likely an unusual winter (cold one week, warm the next) accelerated the facade problem. No one was injured and it's being repaired at this moment. No news story here except the traffic disruption.
