The crane was operating on a vacant building near Hudson Yards when it caught fire. Emergency crews responded almost immediately but were essentially helpless as it burned hundreds of feet in the air.
Eventually, the flames got to be too much, and the crane snapped ... striking a neighboring building and falling to the ground.
