Fire on New York construction crane causes arm to collapse and hit a building as it falls
NEW YORK (AP) — A tall construction crane caught fire in Manhattan on Wednesday morning, and its arm 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. The crane’s arm scraped the top floors of a skyscraper across the street as it fell.
There were no immediate reports of injuries from the crane fire and collapse, which happened shortly before 8 a.m.
