Hurricane Sandy is starting to wreak major havoc here in New York City. The storm is allegedly to blame for a partially collapsed crane that is now dangling from a 1,000-foot-tall skyscraper under construction in Midtown Manhattan. The 90-story luxury condo tower—to be NYC’s tallest residential building when it’s complete—was designed by French architect Christian de Portzamparc. There are no reported injuries so far.

Dubbed One57, the skyscraper is located on West 57th Street, near Carnegie Hall. (We featured the $1.5 billion project earlier this year.) According to Reuters, city officials are concerned the crane may fall and have ordered residents of neighboring towers to move to lower levels of their buildings.
