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…
