I was just doing a search on this before posting. AP now reporting 2 people confirmed dead.

What a horrible mess.

Yep- this is the second one within a few months in NYC. This was a different kind of accident- the first one came loose from the building. This time it looks as though the top of the crane simply fell.

On national FOX they’re reporting the crane is not stable- so the rescuers are having to work around that too...
