The video shows that the crane cab fell onto the skyscraper before collapsing to the ground.

Fortunately, it was only 7:30 a.m. when the accident happened, so the street wasn’t as busy as it was in the middle of the day.

Mayor Eric Adams visited the scene to assess the situation and thank the first responders.

According to the New York Post, the crane bore on its side the name of Lomma Crane, a company owned by James F. Lomma, who was acquitted of manslaughter and guilty on three other counts in connection with the fatal collapse of a crane on the Upper East Side in 2008.

Outaouais resident fishes human foot out of Lac des Pères

On Monday, a resident of Sainte-Thérèse-de-la-Gatineau made a macabre discovery while fishing in Lac des Pères.

Radio-Canada said he caught a human foot in his rowboat in the middle of the lake.

The fisherman thought he had a big fish…but it was human remains waiting for him at the end of his fishing line…

Radio-Canada reported that SQ divers and a forensic identification team will be on-site to see if they can discover the other body parts and also identify to whom they belong.

A rigorous analysis will be conducted, and an investigation will be launched.

We don’t yet know whether this was a criminal act or an accidental death, but the investigation may reveal everything soon.

Trouble in paradise for Harry and Meghan?

Rumors of marital problems for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been circulating for some time, while their arrival in Hollywood has not be worthy of the stories of princes and princesses we were told as kids… which the couple denies of course, but what is the truth really?

In recent months, the couple have reportedly been living under considerable financial pressure, as their $20 million collaboration with Spotify comes to an end.

The deal with Netflix isn’t going so well either… the writers’ strike in Hollywood has put Harry’s all-important Netflix documentary on hold, even though he was due to travel alone to mainland South Africa for several weeks for filming.

“This stress, coupled with their emotional problems, has probably made life hell,” a source close to the couple is quoted as saying by Page Six.

This information comes on the heels of those initially reported by Radar Online.

However, another source said to be close to the couple firmly denied the allegations:

“It’s not true, it’s made up,” claims the source in question.

So what’s really going on?

One thing is certain, their spectacular exit from the royal family is definitely not going as smoothly as expected, and the fairy tale is taking a while to find its perfect ending.

Tom Brady would no longer be a heartthrob

Tom Brady, one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, has reportedly set his sights on another supermodel, Russian Irina Shayk.

According to several media reports, Irina Shayk seems to have won the race for Tom Brady, the retired NFL quarterback and future Hall of Famer.

Irina Chaïkhlislamova, known as Irina Shayk, is one of the world’s most popular models. The 37-year-old Iemanjelinsk-born beauty and the 45-year-old sportsman reportedly met for the first time in Sardinia at the wedding of billionaire Joe Nahmad and model Madison Headrick.

The New York Post claims that Brady was turning many heads at the event but that the Russian managed to catch his eye.

“All of Madison’s friends are gorgeous models, and they all hit on Tom, including Irina, but it looks like she’s the one who scored a touchdown,” said a tipster for the paper.

According to the same daily, Irina Shayk spent last weekend with Tom Brady in Los Angeles.

The couple were photographed on several occasions in Brady’s Rolls-Royce, or walking down the street, while the seven-time Super Bowl champion picked Shayk up from the Bel-Air Hotel on Friday and took her home.

Shayk reportedly left Brady’s house around 9:30 a.m. the following day, only to return later.

Tom Brady’s relationship saga thus appears to be over. Since last October, when he divorced his ex-wife after 13 years of marriage, supermodel Gisele Bündchen the former NFL star, has been at the center of numerous rumours.

The ex-footballer was recently linked to Kim Kardashian after the two bachelors were seen at a 4th of July white party in the Hamptons. But it was nothing of the sort.

Irina Shayk, for her part, has quite a roster. The supermodel has dated millionaire Italian entrepreneur Valerio Morabito, Linkin Park drummer Rob Bourdon, Brazilian model Arthur Sales, Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo, actor Bradley Cooper and singer Kanye West.
