One 57 Crane

The crane that has been dangling over Midtown Manhattan since Monday's Hurricane Sandy will officially be taken down tomorrow, according to The Wall Street Journal

Sandy's gusts of wind had toppled the crane off the glitzy One57 building, which is still under construction. Earlier this year, the building's penthouse sold for $90 million

The surrounding area was evacuated as a precaution to shield people from the crane, which has been hanging 1,000 feet in the air. 

According to The WSJ:

The plan calls for a worker to rotate the entire crane using a small hand crank, turning the damaged boom toward the building. Then cables would be used to secure the boom to 10- to 12-foot steel arms installed near the top of the condominium tower on West 57th Street.
