Crane Damages Brooklyn Bridge While Passing Under

Gothamist

Damaged section of the bridge can be seen in the center.

The underside of the Brooklyn Bridge was struck by a crane being pushed by a tugboat around 8 p.m. So far, it looks like the crane hit temporary scaffolding beneath the bridge—the damage appears to be in the middle of deck halfway across river.

When a recipe moved over the wire for hamantashen — triangular, fruit-filled cookies associated with the Jewish holiday of Purim — it took me back five years to a particularly festive day of a 10-day trip to Israel.
