A construction crane caught fire and partially collapsed in the heart of Manhattan on Wednesday morning, sending commuters fleeing for their lives as rubble rained down onto the streets below.
The fire broke out at around 7.30 am ET on a crane on a building under construction along W 41st St and 10th Avenue, close to Hudson Yards.
Terrifying bystander footage showed the top of the crane alight before it suddenly collapsed, crashing into a building opposite where it appeared to smash several windows. New Yorkers in the streets below were seen running away from the carnage.
Five people – four civilians and one firefighter – suffered minor injuries from the collapse, with New York City Mayor Eric Adams saying it was “extremely lucky” that more people weren’t hurt.
The area around the incident has been evacuated as firefighters work to tackle the blaze, shooting water jets from other high-rise buildings. By 8.30 am most of the fire was out.NYC crane collapses new york crane collapse today crane collapses NY crane manhattan collapse manhattan crane collapse in NYC Hudson yards crane fire crane collapse new york city crane collapse NYC 2023 NYC fire nyc crane fire hells kitchen midtown crane collapse 10th avenue NYC crane collapse in new york city nyc crane NYC new york crane NY crane collapse today nyc hudson yards crane collapse in new york tower crane collapse nyc news.
