Not Brooklyn, but too big and tragic to ignore: A crane collapse on the Upper East Side this morning has left at least two people dead. (Update: As of 2 p.m. Bloomberg is now saying four dead.) The accident happened at the Azure condo construction site on 91st Street near 1st Avenue. We’ve already had the head of one DOB chief over a fatal crane accident. How much more evidence do we need, and how many more lives need to be lost, before we call the entire system broken?
