Crane on the move
- Remember the crane that blew over in the storm on Monday?
- Apparently it still works, and they're solving the problem by turning it, so that the dangling part is touching the building.
- Presumably from there, they can dismantle it safely, and cart away the broken bits down through the building itself.
- It's kind of brilliant. They might do some damage to the building, but the ground below remains safe, and the problem may be solved quickly.
- Update: Here's a close-up of the crane. Note the net under the crane bits.
- Update #2: Here's a Bloomberg article that explains the plan.
