Well, turns out that CDI did it, and they actually did an amazing job. Lol The crane that fell over the building was supposed to do exactly that, because if it was brought down, it was likely to hit the newly refurbished theater across the street. So they wanted to get it layed over the building so that it was stable. They dropped and swung the counterweights onto the building to avoid dropping them through the street and destroying all the underground utilities. The other crane was leaning too far back to lay onto the building, so they swung the counterweight onto the building, and brought it into the street in the best way possible. So under the circumstances, they did a pretty good job. And it sounds like they got it to do exactly what they planned.
