Question:

Why weren't tower cranes taken down in NYC and all the areas affected by hurricane Sandy?

Did not city officials think of the danger if they toppled.

Answer:

My friend, that is a good question that only the developer will have to answer to. To the City that is. The crane operator and all other parties in charge of the project will get fined by the City. In addition, they may be lawsuits. Good luck
It takes longer to take them down than Sandy has been a tropical depression.
CHEAPER TO HAVE THEM KILL PEOPLE THEN PAY TO TAKE THEM DOWN.
