Cranes are designed to weather-vane in storms. There would be no way they could have gotten that thing down, especially in NYC. Obviously it failed, just like a car would fail to start even though it is designed to start every time.

OSHA will not get involved with that unless there was an operator using it at the time of failure. They have to be able to prove an employee was exposed to a hazard. They'll likely rig up some monster crane and safely disassemble it. In the big scheme of that storm, that crane would be low priority on my list.
