San Francisco neighborhood is evacuated over fears a 2,000LB concrete wall will fall from the top of a 37-story skyscraper
Unstable 2,000-pound wall of concrete at a luxury apartment building under-construction sent city officials into panic mode at 33 Tehama Street
A strut supporting a platform in elevator shaft broke causing a 30-ton machine used for transferring liquid concrete to lean into the concrete 2,000-pound slab
The platform itself began leaning outward atop of the building, as officials evacuated 16 nearby buildings, closed streets and closed freeway exit ramp 
Around 9pm officials and authorities stabilized platform and deemed area 'safe'
Developers purchased the property back in 2014 for an estimated $48.5million
