[Bill De Blasio, , New York City Mayor:] Our hearts go out to the families of the individual who has been lost and to all those who have been injured. We're concerned obviously for everyone who lives and works in the area to make sure they'll be safe. The immediate concern relates to the fact that there has been gas leaks as a result of this incident. The crane was being lowered into the secure position and the construction workers were blocking off the area, so the danger to people on the street was lessened. Thank God we didn't have more injuries and we didn't lose more people.
[John Berman, Cnn Anchor:] We are going to go to Miguel Marquez who is live at scene. Any word why this happened? What caused this? I know the weather has been rough today.
[Miguel Marquez, Cnn Correspondent:] The wind is high. It was snowing very heavily today, and all those factors may have something to do it. This was a very, very big crane but it was a crawler crane, not one connected to a building. You can't actually see it. It's down that street and goes all the way down the block where it fell. Lots of police and fire on scene here still. This is a crane that was 565 feet long. They had just added an extension to it. It could handle weights up to 330 tons. When they were lowering the crane this morning because the winds were high, about 20 miles per hour, the company that runs the crane says, at 25 miles per hour, they have to go into safety mode. They were lowering the crane into the safety mode, said the mayor, when it collapsed. One of those photographs that you can see, you can see a car clearly underneath that crane. One of the people who was killed was in a parked car. It's not clear that that was the car where that individual was killed. But just a massive problem out here. The people in the neighborhood said it felt like an earthquake. They could literally feel the ground move. It sounded extraordinarily loud. Four buildings were damaged as the crane came down. They have that block closed off right now and they'll try to figure out how to get that crane up and out. It's going to take several days before they'll be able to do that John, Kate?
[Berman:] Miguel Marquez, down in lower Manhattan. Our thoughts go out to the people affected by that. Terrible picture. Thanks, Miguel. Back on the campaign trail, some familiar faces throwing their weight behind Jeb Bush, his mother, and even his brother. Will the family strategy pay off? A little history could be a guide.
[Kate Bolduan, Cnn Anchor:] Also ahead, New Hampshire's paper of record hitting Marco Rubio and hitting him hard just days ahead of the crucial primary will there. We'll tell you what the paper said. The executive editor of the paper will be joining us live.
