A crane collapse rocked a Manhattan block this morning. Take a look at the damage left behind.
A towering construction crane caught fire high above the West Side of Manhattan on Wednesday morning, causing its long arm to snap off, smash against a nearby building and plummet to the street as people ran for their lives on the sidewalk below.
Eleven people suffered injuries in the collapse, but no one died, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said. “As you can see from the debris on the street, this could have been much worse,” the Democrat said at a news conference, noting that the street at that hour of the morning is often filled with pedestrians, cars and buses.This bird's-eye-view photo provided by the FDNY shows damages after the partial crane collapse on Wednesday, July 26, 2023.This photo provided by the FDNY shows debris from the partial crane collapse on Wednesday, July 26, 2023.
