The crane leaned everything it knows from Wall Street

That's why you always have to stay out of the line of fire.

I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. I think I know what you're going for, and bravo for the typical southern "yankee hate".

Live load + ice load + wind load ?

Having worked with cranes, shite is super dangerous. Each of those boom sections weighs a couple thousand pounds. Guy that worked with us lost his left hand getting it trapped between two sections. Crushed it.
All it takes is one gust of wind, or one accidental push of the controls, and that's all she wrote.

Could you imagine how loud that was when it toppled over?

Do you think there will be a claim made for a defective airbag?

How high up was it? Trying to imagine what this block long piece of equipment looked like falling down/what the people who happened to be looking out the window saw

Your brain will be telling you it's not real. It would take a while to process it.
I saw a huge branch fall off a Water Oak on a windless day. It was surreal.

There you go Mitch. Bay Crane will be coming in low with their bid.

If I were a Manhattan plaintiff's lawyer I'd be doing some creative advertising around that scene right now. Billboard trucks, guys wearing sandwich boards, sponsoring a victim's aide tent with food trucks...

And you wonder why attorneys get a bad rap

I've never wondered that.

Amazing that it landed perfectly in the street like that
Sure, after it glanced off a building or two.
Wonder if there was a crane operator inside at the time? If so, he's almost certainly the fatality.

Somewhere Michael Bay is masturbating furiously right now.

Only one fatality?

Hope a heavy load wasn't lifted at those wind speeds. Refinery crane work is very limited with that kind of wind.
