Given how dramatic it looks on the video (above), it’s surprising that no one was killed or seriously injured. Report via CNN:
Six people, including four civilians and two firefighters, suffered minor injuries in a crane collapse Wednesday morning in Manhattan. The incident occurred at a construction site on 10th Avenue and 41st Street, where firefighters responded to a five-alarm fire that broke out before the boom of the crane collapsed, striking a building across the street, city officials said.
