    DANGLING OVER NYC - CRANE PORTRAITS

    By JodiKaplan  |  Posted November 4, 2012  |  New York City, New York
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     JodiKaplan photographed the dangling crane that hangs over New York City on November 3. The crane was damaged during the storm and remains tethering above a luxury high-rise.
    - Jareen, CNN iReport producer

    The crane above 57th Street is symbolic of a broken NYC - dangling - like the struggling infrastructure of a post-Sandy New York. These shots were taken over the past couple of evenings, depicting the precariousness of a doomed situation. Roads are cordoned off below, creating a dead zone in midtown. The painstaking job of removing this crane requires a ladder to be built up to it Rapunzel style and the crane to be dismantled piece by piece. The reverse of putting NYC back together again. Piece by piece. A balancing act. – Jodi Kaplan
