In Manhattan, the Saturday after Sandy



So, here was 7th Ave just south of Central Park.

I know, we've all seen this shot in the news -- but it's still rather amazing to see that crane just yanked over like that.

When I was there, the rectangle of W 58th, 7th Ave, W56th, and 6th Ave were all cordoned off.

Here's another look:


It's amazing just how tall that building is, even by the standards of that neighborhood.  And therefore, what a job it is/will be to deal with that dangling crane.
