The Vessel at Hudson Yards reopens with new safety measures following deaths

The long-awaited return of a New York City attraction arrives Monday: the reopening of The Vessel.






The long-awaited return of a New York City attraction arrives Monday: the reopening of The Vessel.

The structure in Hudson Yards had been closed for nearly 1,200 days after a string of people died by suicide at the site, exposing gaps in its safety.

The Vessel was an instant architectural icon when the honeycombed structure opened in 2019 on the west side of the island. Visitors from around the world lined up to climb its zigzagging stairs.

Four individuals took their lives at the Vessel during an 18-month span ending in July 2021, which ultimately led to its closure. Back in April, a spokesperson for Hudson Yards confirmed that an upgraded safety plan would allow the structure to reopen.
