it would take about 3-4 days possibly even a week,and cost about a million at least to get that crane down. people were still finding out more info re: the storm. These cranes are made to withstand wind gusts but the wind gusts have been more than what anyone expected. had they gone based on the late night early morning forecast they NEVER would have gotten that crane down in time before sandy. these things happen...it's a very sucky and unfortunate position that the neighboring areas are in now because of it.
Will cost them a lot more than a million dollars if someone gets hurt.
Guess they figured it would be worth the risk.
I don't think they necessarily saw this coming. It seems like an obvious threat to us as see the picture on the screen of it dangling down...but the people who work with these tools everyday know better than we do what they are capable of. I'm certain all the other cranes are up as well because they are believed to be sturdy enough to withstand wind gusts...unfortunately we are dealing with wind gusts that are extraordinary.

I can tell you no corners were cut and no one took a calculated risk with this crane.
