Crane collapses on Manhattan’s Upper East Side:  2 Dead by Barry ORegan

You know, there seems to be a lot of crane accidents going on in New York, one wonders if in their haste to build the Big Apple, a few are going to start falling out of the trees.

I will try and get some photos as the story develops.  It is reported 2 are dead and the story is still in development stage.


NEW YORK (AP) — A construction crane has collapsed on New York’s Upper East Side.

The Fire Department says it has pulled people out of the wreckage at East 91st Street and First Avenue. Their conditions are not immediately known.

The top floor of a nearby high-rise apartment building has been damaged. Firefighters and rescue workers are continuing to search through the wreckage.

In March, a 20-story crane broke away from an apartment tower under construction and toppled over, killing seven.
