Two cracks were discovered in the turntable of the Kodiak crane which has risen 12 stories at 123 Washington Street in the Financial District, known to us as the W New York Downtown Hotel & Residences. The crane, like the two that have recently collapsed in deadly accidents, is owned by New York Crane & Equipment Co. The Buildings Department says the cracks don't threaten the crane's structural integrity, but it will be dismantled this weekend. [NYDN]
