Construction work is dangerous, that's why we get payed the little bucks.

Insurance company is already claiming they don’t know the construction crane company’s policy that’s been paying into their pot for the last several years - trying to avoid paying a pay out for those damages.

If anyone is wondering 5 people were injured but no one died. Stay safe, and pray for the injured.

Cars and people should never be allowed under a working crane. The contractors should have to bear the cost of closing down streets.

I hope that the crane operator is okay and that no one was injured.

That Green Goblin is a real menace. Where the fuck is Spiderman? Seriously though. I hope everyone is ok.

[tshaffer]

I can't imagine seeing that coming down in front of you. I hope no one was hurt.

Looks like a job for Spider-Man!
Where's Peter Parker when you need him

As a crane operator, this is one of our worse nightmares. I hope the operator is able to recover from such a traumatic experience

I would have been SCREAMING for people to "RUN!!"

My husband and some members of his company were working on the 14th floor. He thought the building was going to collapse when he heard and felt the bang. Thank God no one was hurt.

So fire likely heated the metal enough to make it malleable enough to yield under the weight of the suspended concrete load. We’ve seen this before at the WTC…

Holly crap that’s scary. Was everybody okay?

[bianca-sgzq]

Wow...that crane broke like a tooth pick. Damn!!

[paulastafford]

That must have scared so many people in those buildings and in the street. 😮

[outoforbit-]

CNN was anyone hurt or killed? Don't yous care to to do a full report or was nobody hurt and killed but yous couldn't do the good news bit or express some gratitude.

[audrayoung]

Oh my goodness, I hope no one was seriously injured.

[DezRosswess]

Dont know how the fire started hope the operator evacuated in time.

[johnfairweather]

Six people were injured due to the crane owner’s negligence.
