Unfortunately, from the looks of things, the death toll is certain to be much higher.
Mayor Bloomberg has just said only 4 were killed, all construction workers on the crane.
He is still speaking.
Anybody know what that small building is that got crushed? I’ve read it housed the Fubar bar on the ground floor, and have read differing reports saying the bar was occupied or unoccupied. But were there apartments above it? Looks like the bigger buildings didn’t take too bad a hit, but that little building is simply pulverized. One can only hope that a lot of people were out and about on a Saturday afternoon.
