Well, as the picture clearly shows the crane in action but we already know that at the time of the accident it was in the "parked for the night" position, hence it looks like there might have been only a very small difference in height between building and crane height. I'm guessing maybe 20-30 feet?

So what's your point, the crane was an hazard and shouldn't have been there (where else then if not where it was actually needed) whereas a slightly lower, but obviously much bulkier, skyscraper is fine and does not present any hazard to the same helicopter traffic?
