what a nightmare. An entire apartment building crushed? seems like a lot of damage from a falling crane.

I wondered when somebody was going to post something on this. It's been going on for hours.
Unfortunately, from the looks of things, the death toll is certain to be much higher.

Don’t big cranes have big counterweights?

Not the first time they put a crane through a building and won’t be the last.

New York is not a good place to be this week.

Don’t big cranes have big counterweights?Of course. Which is why, when they pass their center of gravity, they can crush apartment buildings.
Everytime I walk by one of those things, I marvel at them; and of course I wonder what it would be like to be in one and feeling that awful feeling...

The one right down the block from me looks like it's homemade. Fortunately it's only up about 4 stories.
Really; it looks like it was built with an erector set. And it still has a string of Christmas lights on it.

In the video it looks like the crane snapped.

Newton's Second Law: Force = Mass x AccelerationYes, after Pachyderm mentioned counterweights, I put 2 and 2 together.
