This is a bit more local than US News story, but didn't know where else to post. The footage is crazy.

Four people suffered minor injuries, but no one died, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

The crane operator is also reported (on FDNY Twitter) to be OK

Crane collapses in NYC aren't rare, but them being on fire beforehand is.
