That's the top of the crane spiked into the street, got to be pretty deep to hold the 30-40 feet of broken crane upright... maybe a little lean

If that jib would have broke away it would have buried 30 feet or more. Damn near every pile I've driven down there the first 35' is free.

Correct, and isn't the very last piece that comes down and lands right in the road the counter weight that everyone keeps saying landed in the building? I guess technically it hit the building on the way down but it landed in the street, that might have been what caused the hole in the pic posted above, hard to tell how deep it is and what it hit below grade. It looks like there were some kind of utilities located and marked on the pavement right where that hole is at. Just as planned
