**10-60 MAJOR EMERGENCY** Massive Response to Crane Collapse on Mega-Highrise [ All-Hands Box 916 ]

[@theghettofiremen7208]

Watching that crane spin in the night sky was creepy af.

[@mrincognito5275]

It’s called weathervane for the crane

[@ph11p3540]

The winds high up there are hurricane force. There was nothing wrong with the crane itself as it was weather veining. Weather veining is a good thing. The fallen material was poorly secured construction material stored on the roof that would normally be quite safe up there. Unused scaffolding, slip mold panels and temporary columns to hold up the slip molds to allow for concrete slab work.

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

The crane was indeed weathervaning, but the hook was not properly secured. The hook was whipping around and taking chunks off the building with it. The debris was not improperly secured construction material.

[@stanleymcfadden6407]

It was not the crane hitting the building it was the hook that was to low that was hitting the building .

[@FDNYResponseVideos]

As stated above: “ the hook was not properly secured. The hook was whipping around and taking chunks of the building off with it”

I'm german, but it gives me the absolute worst feeling one can imagine, when I see FDNY guys look up into the sky..

[@jeffdillon8816]

Was wondering if anyone felt that way. Every time they showed them looking up or looking up and pointing I got chills. 9/11 will always be felt in moments like that.

[@jasongeerer8163]

My brain always goes back to 9/11 when I see a FDNY firefighter have to look up like that! Gives me the creeps and makes me nervous af.........

[@michaeld.4521]

So true.

Such a big and complex incident. It'd be interesting to know how they secured it. Great footage.

29th October 2012- Hurricane Sandy hits NYC. A crane atop a mega-highrise building under construction on West 57th Street netween 6th and 7th Avenue suffers damage, resulting in a 10-60 major emergency signal. 29th October 2020- Hurricane Zeta hits NYC. A crane atop a mega-highrise building under construction on West 57th Street between 6th and 7th Avenue suffers damage, resulting in a 10-60 major emergency signal. Spooky!

@FDRV can I use screenshots from this video as long as I give you credit?

[@trutharmy6517]

The crane is designed to spin like that it’s just unsecured material that was flying down

[@CháleloTheAtheist]

No, the crane was spinning and it hit the buildings next to it therefore explaining the debris that fell.

[@mrincognito5275]

@@CháleloTheAtheist no it’s perfectly normal to weathervane the tower crane the hook wasn’t ran all the way up so it wouldn’t hit anything

[@rspearsonyt]

nothing surprises me in 2020 swinging tower arm sure can do some damage, to me crane tower looks more sturdy than the building which looks like the wind could blow it over, thanks for great video and coms....Scott

[@mrincognito5275]

Crane arm ? You’re a moron it’s called the boom of the crane

[@stevelee3264]

The operator puts the crane in " windvein" mode to minimize cross wind resistance. Designed as safety feature.

[@xheralt]

Right, but a hook came loose and was swinging; that's what clipped chunks off of the building.

[@noahsheftel4197]

What is div 3 messager?

[@mikegaskin5542]

Each division has a "messenger van" assigned to it. It's just an ordinary van that can be used to move stuff around. When you have a random need to move stuff or people, usually for non-emergency reasons, that's what the messenger vans are for.

[@flexmann2148]

Is FDNY on analog or digital radio, planning on traveling down there with family on thanksgiving. Taking my scanner radio with me to the big apple. Flex from Chicago.

Still analog if I remember correctly. Not much in NY is digital yet.

Cheers for the video, question re Orange lights on top of Engines etc, why orange?, over her in New Zealand, its Red on Fire engines and ambulances, and red and blue on police great looking vehicles

[@xheralt]

They are actually red, they just look orange because they are very high-intensity, they are overdriving the receptors on the camera.

Is that de Blasio up there?

Why?

[@FloridaCatholicGuy]

@@ddylla85 shoddy and unsafe worksites.

[@kingjames8283]

Title to this video is incorrect and misleading. Tower crane did not appear to be damaged and did not collapse. The spinning of the crane (weather-vaning) is normal and is designed to do that in high winds as were apparent in this video. The material laying in the road appears to be something like maybe a window frame that was stored loose on one of the upper floors that the winds blew down to the ground. The material is hard to see in the dark but it doesn't look like any part of a crane or support structure I recognize.

[@ember_shep8181]

From reports on scene and from FDNY investigations, the Hook from the crane that was veining loose and smashing into the building causing large chunks of building to fall to thr ground below.

[@fdnylover2016]

Great video my friend 👍

[@firerescue2283]

Are you actually with FDNY, cause I wouldn’t be letting a random civilian into the scene.

[@fal1449]

I believe they have a press badge if you know what that is which basically lets them in the scene to record
