BRIDE’S CRANE- CRASH DRAMA.

-

One person died and two others were seriously injured when a crane collapsed Friday morning in Lower Manhattan, smashing the roofs of parked cars, authoritie­s said. Mayor Bill de Blasio said the crane was being lowered as a precaution because of high winds when the accident occurred. “Thank God we didn’t have more injuries and lose more people,” he said. The crane landed across an intersecti­on and stretched much of a block in the Tribeca neighbourh­ood, about 10 blocks north of the World Trade Center. There was damage to the roof of a nearby building, and debris littered the street. De Blasio said the person killed was sitting in a parked car.
