BREAKING NEWS: Crane collapse

Fire officials say a crane accident at the building that will be the future world headquarters of Goldman Sachs left one man seriously injured this morning after a sling carrying steel fell some 25 stories to the ground. The steel load fell onto a row of construction trailers on West Street just before 11 a.m. One person who was inside one of the trailers was seriously injured and removed to St. Vincent's Hospital.

The Tishman Corporation is at fault once again.

Preservationists appealed to Tishman since this summer to save the Playpen Theater, but to no avail. NY's oldest Vaudeville theater and a Beaux Art gem is now rubble.
