NEW YORK (AP) - Officials are working to determine why a huge construction crane that was being lowered to safety during strong winds came crashing down onto a New York City Street, killing a pedestrian and crushing a row of parked cars.
Three other people were hurt by debris on Friday in Lower Manhattan, two of the seriously.
Still, city officials say it could have been much worse.
Mayor Bill de Blasio says a construction crew was directing people away from the area as the crane was being lowered, and that most likely prevented further tragedy.
Wall Street worker David Wichs was killed in the collapse. His family says he was a mathematical whiz who worked at a computerized trading firm.
Officials plan to hold another news conference on Saturday at the collapse site.
