Construction Crane Collapse In New York City

NEW YORK (AP) — A fire on a tall construction crane in Manhattan has caused its arm to hit a building as it crashed to the street below. Photos and videos posted on social media show flames bursting from the car of a crane hundreds of feet above 10th Avenue at 41st Street on Wednesday. The crane’s arm scraped the top floors of a skyscraper across the street as it fell. There were no immediate reports of injuries. The crane fire and collapse happened shortly before 8 a.m. Firefighters on a roof deck of another building used hoses to battle the blaze. Surrounding streets were closed to traffic.
