At about 9:30 on Friday morning, a crane at a worksite on Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg lost a fight with the laws of physics, toppling over under the weight of its sheet-metal lode and miraculously not injuring anyone on the scene. According to some comments on Curbed, this particular site has been your run-of-the-mill nightmare for the past several months, prompting multiple calls to 311 by frustrated neighbors. Did any readers happen to pass by during the aftermath of the accident? What’s the status now?
