Construction Site Boom Truck Collapse Injures 5 in NYC
TL;DR
A boom truck collapsed at a construction site in Upper Manhattan, injuring five workers, three seriously and two with minor injuries, as it was lifting plywood on the second-floor deck of a 17-story building. The collapse occurred during a powerful storm, and the Department of Buildings is investigating the cause. This incident follows two open violations at the site from December when a construction worker was struck by an aluminum beam.
