A drastic accident has injured several people early Sunday morning
Earlier this morning, a crane on 38th Street and Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan lost control of the A/C unit it was hoisting, sending the crane smashing into the sie of a skyscraper. Several injuries have been reported, but thankfully, no casualties. Below is a picture of some of the damage. Debris was sent flying into the street, and the building has since been evacuated, and area traffic is being re-routed.
Early reports do not indicate that the damage to the building is un-fixable.
