A deadly crane collapse smashing vehicles and leaving one person dead. Abcs rob nelson has the latest from the scene. This tragedy unfolded at 824 this morning. One person was killed, others were hurt and the big question remains this afternoon how excactly did this happen . This massive crane was working on 60 hudson street, standing nearly 600 feet in the air and weighing more than 300 tons, and it all came crashing down this morning on worth street in tribeca, crushing cars and swiping at least one building on the way down. Residnets and workers said they thought it was a bomb or an earthquake. The year old man from the Upper West Side who was sitting inside of a car did not survive and others are being treated in the hospital. Ironically, enough, crews were in the process of putting the crane in a secure position becuase of todays high winds and it was during that process when this collapse took place for reasons that are still unclear. The deadly accident impacted local streets, subways and buses and also forced evacations of nearby buildings. Coned has also shut off power and gas in the area as a precaution and officials had to check the Structural Integrity of neary buildings.
