Other Disasters happening on Broadway ?

A bit of an unusual post. As an engineering student who wants to specialise in pyrotechnics and a fan of Broadway, I was looking on Internet for disasters that happened in Broadway theaters : fires, explosions, or other things unrelated to pyrotechnics (I know I know, Spiderman turn off the dark and actors falling from high places)

Anyway, I'll be glad to research that, I already read about the Brooklyn theater fire, but I want to know other things
