A crane on top of a building collapsed in downtown Toronto Saturday, causing “significant damage” to a condo tower, Toronto police said. Toronto police and fire crews responded at the scene at 8 The Esplanade, also known as “the L Tower” in the Yonge Street and The Esplanade area just after 2 p.m. The damage seemed to be limited to the top six floors of the skyscraper, “which are all mechanical, so no residences have been damaged,” Toronto Fire District Chief Stephan Powell told the Star. Buldings in the area were evacuated and two crane workers initially unaccounted for were located safe, police said. The condo building is attached to the City’s arts venue, Meridian Hall, but there was no indication of damage to the venue, Powell said.
