Yesterday a crane that was set up just a few days ago outside my window in Long Island City, broke and collapsed on top of the workers right in front of my eyes! I had been reading the newspaper around 2:30 p.m. and saw it sway and lean over and crash onto the rough construction below. The sound of all the metal crumbling was frightening. I jumped up and ran to the window and opened it. People were yelling and running everywhere. This video was taken prior to any emergency vehicles had come on the scene.
