  1. Explaining the science behind a crane collapse awesome fmfl!

  2. Stanley Tucci in the back?

  3. OH MY GOD JOEEPH PFEIFER!!!!

  4. Y’all bugging this is worse. Who tf wants tons of metal falling on they body. Area should of been cleared 100%. Once that fire was reported. Y’all accept anything 🙄

  5. Physics and chemistry are no joke.

  6. Is that Chief Phifer from the 9/11 documentary?

  7. Does mayor Adams even talk at all or just look cool? 😎

  8. ATTENTION CHRISTIAN'S IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN DANGER SAY JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS JESUS OVER AND OVER AND IF YOU CAN TAKE PHYSICAL ACTION AT THE SAME TIME. JESUS SAVES. JESUS LOVES YOU. 🙏❤️

  9. Now breaking news: Singer Sinéad O Connor has died😢🧐Hunter Biden plead deal in court falls apart and he pleads not guilty?? The World feels like it’s falling apart on this 7/26/2023 , just like the collapse and fire of this crane in New York City

  10. That was unbearable, retirement needs to be mandatory at 60!😮

  11. I have a penthouse at 432 Park Avenue (billionaire row) and suddenly saw a lot of smoke.

  12. If Barney Fife was a fireman. Lol

  13. Why wasn't the street shut down lol

  14. Will they not let that man retire? Has he not been through enough?

  15. Why doesn't the fire depth have resources to put out fires starting in cranes. Why aren't these cranes under stricter regulations? This will happen again unfortunately 😢

  16. Why is mayor adam even there? he didnt do anything to help

  17. Bro got neck problems from that hat. Guy in the job before him was much bigger obviously

  18. Praise God it wasn't worse!🙏❤️

  19. So absolutely relieved that there are no facilities such a blessing 😢😢!!!!! I’m sure people got very badly injured though

  20. They should install way better fire suppression systems in those cranes. Would have saved a lot of money.

  21. How long until NBC says crane operators are mostly white and this is racist

  22. He really is a very poor public speaker. His spoken English is execrable.

  23. Glad it wasn’t worse 🙏🏾

  24. Take a train, all by yourself! See how it is down there.

  25. That's Joe Pfiefer the Chief whom was first on the scene on ❤9/11

  26. Where is spider man when you need him 😢

  27. GO CHIEF JOE-
    YOUR BROTHER WOULD OF BEEN PROUD OF YA SIR

  28. This guy was a major player on 9/11. Surprised he is still on the job.

  29. Crane shouldnt cover up the 500k crazies being bussed in

  30. Cranes and anything else in NYC that are safe and pass inspection don't earn the city government any money in fines.

  31. Why does this guy look like the fire-chief from 9/11?

  32. Why on earth is he wearing that ridiculous hat?

  33. Primitive technology, unscientific way of building crane, little to no maintenance

  34. why not have water available from every floor

  35. where's video of the ground

  36. Chief Joe Pfeifer a Class Act

  37. See this legend guy triggers me.

  38. Uh, buddy? Firefighters are also civilians.

  39. We are under attack from Ukcrane

  40. 7/26 = 7 + 26 = 33 ( free masons ) 26 -7 = 19 ( 911 ) 🧐it’s all a strange set of coincidences having something to do with 9/11 and the secret shadow government agenda. Isn’t it funny how the government is now having ufo hearings while trying to Investigate the corruption scandals of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden?? TRUST NO ONE

  41. Obama and bg Mikel have fled Martha's Vinyard after a body was found near their property.

  42. again the commie sleeper cells strike with a terrorist act undetected!

  43. SENIORS PLEASE RETIRE SO THE YOUNG PEOPLE CAN MAKE SOME MONEY TOO

  44. Could have been so so much worse.
