A crane hauling an air conditioner into the top floor of a 30-story building dropped the heavy load Sunday morning, smashing parts of the building and injuring 10 people.
Workers were loading the shipping container-sized machine into 261 Madison Ave. when a rigging strap holding the air conditioner broke, a city official familiar with the ongoing investigation told the Daily News.
The chiller sheered the building as it fell. Debris rained down on Madison Ave. around E. 38th St.
Part of the 30-story building's facade near the roof was bashed open.

You know what a blonde thinks when she sees lightning?
Her picture is being taken.

And a kinky haired woman thinks it’s her mug shot being taken.
I wonder why “blonde jokes” aren’t considered racist?
Or are they considered the “right kind” of racism?
It’s a sick world, nothing personal.

A rigger has a choice in NY:
pay the bribe and save what it costs to do the job right
or pay the bribe AND pay to do the job right.
I assume the inspector’s ‘OK’ means this will be paid by insurance.

A 30 ton elevator? Maybe they could take it apart and reassemble it on the roof. Or they could hire a crane.

I work in a city and I’m amazed by the fact that no one is ever killed by a brick or piece of granite facing falling off of a building.
