Hmmm, from the photos it looks like the load dropped by the crane didn't fall on any part of the site that is actively under construction. Seems to have been dropped in a loading/staging area just outside the old building facade, almost on the road. No one hurt and the new building structure probably unharmed. That's good news at least.
