NYPD ESU officers gear-up to climb a building where a burning construction crane lost part of its load that collapsed and plunged 45 stories to the street below Wednesday morning, July 26, 2023 with dozen minor injuries reported as terrified pedestrians scrambled for their lives. The crane caught fire on top of 550 10th Ave. near 41st St. at 7:25 a.m. before tumbling down in mere seconds with a 16-ton load of concrete. The crane bashed into a building across the street as it fell, with a plume of thick black smoke visible above the city skyline for miles. (Photo by: Luiz C. Ribeiro)
