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 7.30am ET on a crane on a building under
construction along W 41st St and 10th Avenue, close to Hudson Yards.
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.
Two construction workers told The Indepednent about the “terrifying” moment the
building they were working in was suddenly struck by the crane.
“We’re walking down the stairs and that’s when you hear the boom, boom, boom,”
Alexander, a construction worker who only wished to be identified by his first
name, told The Independent.
Twelve people – nine civilians and three firefighters – were injured in the
collapse, the FDNY told CNN.
All suffered non-life threatening injuries while one of the firefighters
suffered chest pains.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that it was “extremely lucky” more people
weren’t hurt.

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR:
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 7.30am 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, falling into a building opposite where it appeared to smash
several windows.
New Yorkers in the streets below were seen running away from the carnage.
Two victims suffered minor injuries from the collapse.
The area around the incident has now been evacuated as firefighters work to
tackle the blaze, shooting water jets from other high rise buildings.
