On Wednesday morning, in New York City, bystanders captured a video which showed a construction crane being on fire as it partially collapsed and plummeted to the street below.
The crane can be seen ablaze in multiple videos posted to Twitter. One video posted on Twitter shows the crane on fire before it breaks loose and crashes into a skyscraper across the street and onto the ground, sending pedestrians fleeing the area.
In another video shared on Twitter, black smoke could be seen into the sky after the top of the crane detached and fell.
No injuries from the crane fire and collapse were reported, which happened shortly before 8 a.m. in the Hudson Yards area of Manhattan.
The location on Manhattan’s west side is near the Port Authority Bus Terminal and an entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel, which carries auto traffic to and from New Jersey under the Hudson River.
The New York City Fire Department tweeted a warning of a five-alarm fire at 550 10th Ave. and said in another tweet that its units were on scene. Firefighters stationed on a roof deck of another building used hoses to battle the blaze.
The New York City Police Department on Twitter posted a warning for people to avoid the area of 10th Ave. and 11th Ave. between West 41st St. to West 42nd St. because of the crane collapse.
