If Superman was there this wouldn't have happened

Better hope Lucky Larry Silverstein didn't own the building the crane fell on. Because if he does then the entire building will fall into its footprint when they pull it.

Now that all depends on if you doubled down on the insurance policy recently

4 dead.

Wow.

It's been like 4 or 5 months since we had a crane collapse here.

And apparently, a bar called FUBAR was destroyted by the collapse.

No, really. FUBAR.

No punchline necessary...

:(

If this had happened in Des Moines it would not have been greenlighted.

/out of the way early

New York. Again. What an attention whore.

hope everyone involved is ok

I guess cranes are larger birds than I had previously thought.

If Spiderman was there, he would save the most attractive girl there and leave. No one would even remember the rest of who died. The camera wouldn't even bother showing it. It wouldn't matter. Too much shiat is going on as it is.

pinktaco4lunch: hope everyone involved is ok

A little late for that.

Call up FEMA.

If this had happened in Des Moines it would not have been greenlighted.

/out of the way early

That is because no one would be left alive to report it?

Dusty911: If Superman was there this wouldn't have happened

Holy crap, I came into the comments section to post this exact message, lol, it's the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.

NYZooMan: 4 dead.

That sucks.

i smell a lawsuit

Riomp300: i smell a lawsuit

I smell dead people.

Some engineer will have his nuts on a chopping block for this.

This thread is worthless without pictures

Was that guy doing chin ups again?

FTA "First I heard a rumble, and it increased, and then it increased," said Bill Reilly, who lives a block away. "It continued building in strength until there was a final vroom! It shook the six-story brick building that I live in."

Then the fire tucks went Whoo Whoo, Honk Honk then it increased until it went WHOO WHOO, HONK HONK. The policeman said ,"mwa mwa mwa, mwa mwa mwwa."

Amazed it made a sound like a car instead of a loud crash.

/When I fart it sounds like a Harp.

Riomp300: i smell a lawsuit

See, and all I can smell are the sausages I had for lunch. They're repeating on me like a Howitzer.

Incoming. Duck and cover, honey. Duck and cover.

Meh.

It's not like there aren't too many new yarwkers anyway.

//hopes the Soup Nazi is ok

I knew Back to You sucked, but this is a bit overkill for a Frasier spin-off, isn't it?

Where's the video? This is New York, so somebody had to have caught it on camera.

oldfarthenry: Some engineer will have his nuts on a chopping block for this.

Or the company that disregarded safety protocols or let the inspection on their crane expire or constructed it improperly, etc., etc., etc...

Bah , if only they had a large hoisting device to remove that wreckage!

/SEND IN MORE TRAINS!
//hello little man with a hat

Hetfield: New York. Again. What an attention whore.

This.

/hopes everyone involved okay though

H31N0US: If this had happened in Des Moines it would not have been greenlighted.

/out of the way early

because they don't have buildings that high in iowa?

FlatFoot: I guess cranes are larger birds than I had previously thought.

I must be drunk, I laughed at that.

jethus_crised: GODDAMN TERRORISTS!!! NOT AGAIN!!!?!?!?!??

You sheeple. It was obviously an inside job.

Yes - but a P.Eng must have signed off on the construction procedures (he'll be flipping burgers in a prison cafeteria soon).

Don't mess with the Tampa Bay Rays.

About a block away from my wife's aunt. Haven't been able to get in touch yet. Ugh.

NYZooMan: 4 dead.

Steel workers and Crane man coming
we're finally on our own
damn thing just started crumbling
four dead in old Soho

Of course they smell gas.

It's the only way to clear out the building so they can do an apartment by apartment search for surviving valuables.

oldfarthenry: Yes - but a P.Eng must have signed off on the construction procedures (he'll be flipping burgers in a prison cafeteria soon).

we shall see. company's getting sued back to the stone age no matter what.

Karma's way of saying your Governor shouldn't be farking $5,500 hookers.

Doesn't have the same ring but more accurate.

Certainly some that are >15 stories

Knobbs: jethus_crised: GODDAMN TERRORISTS!!! NOT AGAIN!!!?!?!?!??

You sheeple. It was obviously an inside job.

Of course it was. See how the crane was brought down in the pic? It was obviously a controlled fall. If it was an accident, there would be more damage scattered throughout the street. The destruction of the building must've happened from THE INSIDE!

WAKE UP AMERICA! IT'S HAPPENED BEFORE:

That sucks a lot. Someone will sue the crane company probably.

NEW YORK (CBS) ― A massive crane has collapsed at a construction site on Manhattan's East Side.

The 20-foot crane toppled across a street and crashed onto a five story building.

Four stories collapsed, according to the FDNY.

Several people were trapped, and multiple injuries have been reported. At least four people have been confirmed dead at the scene.


I cant belive a 20ft crane can do so much damage
