YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A construction crane caught fire and collapsed in midtown Manhattan on Wednesday morning, damaging a residential building across the street and injuring six people, according to the New York Fire Department.

After trying to extinguish the fire, the crane operator was able to escape and is safe, according to the FDNY. Two of the six people hurt were firefighters, and all of the injuries were minor, Mayor Eric Adams said.

“This could have been much worse,” Adams said at a news briefing. “We are extremely fortunate that it wasn’t during a busy time of day.”
