LIVE VIDEO — Watch Hurricane Sandy roll into New York from our camera at the top of Rockefeller Plaza.
Updated at 8:45 a.m. ET: This video from Nightly News shows the partial crane collapse at 157 57th Street in Manhattan.
The New York Times' live blog of Hurricane Sandy has additional information:
The building, known as One57, is to be New York City’s tallest residential building and perhaps its priciest, with duplexes being offered for $90 million.
“We heard a big noise, and we didn’t know what it was,” said Victor Font, 40, who was eating lunch at Rue 57, a restaurant that looks out onto the high-rise. They rushed outside and saw the huge crane dangling over the street. As the police rushed to the scene, he said, his first thought was: “What are they going to do? How in the world will they bring that down?”

why haven't they removed crane?
So they knew, like everyone else, that a big storm was coming and they left the crane up there? It's going to make a big mess if it comes crashing down!
Is anyone else tired of New York?
Over it.
tired of what? the fact that they're in the bullseye of a dangerous storm? get some compassion.
