My office this morning

Fatal crane collapse directly in front of my office this morning. We have been evacuated. Everyone I know is (luckily) fine.images

First of all, OMG glad you are okay!

Secondly, I have cousins who live in NY and work in NYC. Where in NYC did this happen?

Thank you. Very few people were actually injured, so I'm sure your family is okay. It happened in Tribeca, on Worth Street.

Whew. Okay. You are safe and my cousins are safe and your co-workers are safe.

So, did "fatal" mean fatal for the crane?

No. One person was killed, 3 injured. So sad.

Sad...and scary that equipment could fail like that.
