Crane Collapse in NYC

Now this is what I call a sledgehammer-- i.e. the crane section on top of the crushed building:


Note, the sledgehammer is sitting on top, basically intact.

If this were 9/11, the sledgehammer would have ground itself into dust as it crushed the building below it, of course.

And I imagine that SUV got knocked over by a shockwave produced by the crash-- not by the "Hutchison effect".
