A crane attached to One57, the luxury apartment tower under construction in midtown Manhattan, partially collapsed amid gusts from Hurricane Sandy.
A “number” of buildings near the site at 157 W. 57th St. have been evacuated, including a hotel, and city officials have been told not to attempt to secure the crane in the middle of the storm, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said at a news conference. The main part of the crane appears to be well-secured to the tower, he said.
