New York City Crane Collapses

New York City Fire Department said a large crane has collapsed at an apartment building on Manhattan's upper east side.

A large crane has collapsed damaging an apartment building on Manhattan's upper east side and injuring at least two people, the New York City Fire Department said on Friday.

"It's a big one," said the fire department spokesman. "Two people have been pulled out in an unknown condition."

A local media service, Breaking News Network, which monitors emergency services, reported that two people may have been killed in the collapse on 91st street near First Ave.

Television footage showed the crane in a crumpled mess in the street and a corner apartment at the top of the building that had been demolished. Balconies had been ripped from apartments on the building as the crane fell.

A giant crane fell in March and crushed a residential building in midtown Manhattan, killing seven people and injuring more than 10 others.
