"Emergency workers are at the scene of a crane that's dangling off a 65-story building in New York City.
According to CBS New York, the crane collapsed Monday afternoon at a building under construction on West 57th Street. No injuries are reported. However, streets have been cleared as a precaution.
The city has ordered people in neighboring buildings to move to lower floors. Streets have been cleared.
The call came in around 2:30 p.m. Monday. At the time, according to the National Weather Service, winds in Manhattan were blowing at about 20 mph with gusts up to about 40 mph.
The New York City Buildings Department suspended construction work at 5 p.m. Saturday in anticipation of the storm.
It reminded contractors and property owners to secure construction sites and buildings. It also was performing random inspections to make sure equipment was secured."

Did you know those things walk themselves up and down the buildings?
