    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Where would they go? Is there an emergency escape system built into cranes?

            The scaffolding stayed intact as far as I can see. It was the arm that fell.

              It looks like the crane had been on fire for quite a while before the incident and first responders were in the scene.

              5 people injured, 3 hospitalized. My bet is most were in the building it struck…
