MIGUEL MARQUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This was a crawler crane. It wasn't a crane attached to a building but a crane that was rolled in or driven in about a week ago. This is the scene here on West Broadway. That's just halfway down the crane. It goes back to the left another block and then all the way down to the right another block. Several cars crushed. That one person, as you mentioned, who was injured was in one of those cars that was marked along the way where this crane came down. The winds were very high when this crane was being lowered this morning. It was 565 foot crane, and they put an extension on it. It's was working on an existing building, they were putting air conditioners and generators on top of that building. It had already done some work it was being lowered this morning because the winds were so high. It's also snowing very heavily. All these under investigation now as to how the crane, as it was being lowered, came down and crushed several cars damaging four buildings as well, but fortunately it could have been a lot worse. There are concerns about a gas leak because of how hard this crane came down, but they've been checking throughout the day, and they say so far no signs of a gas leak.
