If you're wondering what the hell's going on in Hell's Kitchen right now, reader Ed writes in to tell us that around 12:45 p.m. the water tower on top of the now defunct Sony Studios building on 54th & 10th, blew over.
The partial collapse (pictured) is on the roof of the four story building, and wasn't part of the demolition the building is currently undergoing -- but rather it appears to have blown over in the wind. No injuries have been reported.
Looks like more work for the old Rosenwach Tank company - unless their arch nemesis Isseks beats them to it.

From today's Daily Bugle:
[while Spider-Man web-swings to catch up with the Vulture in the rain, the Vulture causes damage to a water tower on a rooftop]
Vulture: Those people look thirsty, don't they? Why don't I serve them a drink?
Spider-Man: I think the folks down there are wet enough already!
