A mobile construction crane collapsed this morning when lifting air conditioners for 438 West 38th Street in Hell's Kitchen. The crane was parked in a vacant lot, and it crashed onto the cargo of a parked flatbed truck, which prevented the boom from hitting traffic and causing injuries. The accident "sounded like an earthquake," shaking the surrounding area. The DOB is currently investigating the situation. [NYDN; photo via Gothamist]
