Crane Collapses in Manhattan, New York - 4 People Dead

There has a crane collapse on the east side of Manhattan, New York at the area called Turtle Bay (close to the United Nations) – 51st Street, 2nd Avenue – few hours ago. At least 4 people have been reported dead at the time of this post.

It was a construction crane possibly as high as 24 stories that was mounted on a side of the building. It fell over on another building as it was lifting large block of concrete causing massive damage to several other surrounding buildings.

There are still people trapped in the rubble, but rescue operations are in progress.
