The National Hurricane Centre said the storm's top sustained winds were holding at about 90 miles per hour (150 kilometres per hour) with higher gusts. At 4 p.m. EDT (2000 GMT), Sandy's centre was about 55 miles (150 kilometres) east-southeast of Cape May, New Jersey. It was headed west-northwest at 28 miles per hour (44 kilometres per hour). Sandy was set to collide with a wintry storm from the west and cold air streaming down from the Arctic. The combination super storm could menace some 50 (m) million people in the most heavily populated corridor in the nation, from the East Coast to the Great Lakes. From Washington to Boston, subways, buses, trains and schools were shut down and more than 7,000 flights grounded across the region of 50 (m) million people. Hundreds of thousands of people were under orders to move to higher ground to await the storm's fury. Authorities warned that New York City and Long Island could get the worst of the storm surge: an 11-foot (3.35 metre) onslaught of seawater that could swamp lower Manhattan, flood the subways and damage the underground network of electrical and communications lines that are vital to the nation's financial capital. A construction crane atop a luxury high-rise in New York City collapsed and dangled precariously over the streets on Monday, which were cleared as a precaution. Forecasters said the winds atop the building may have been close to 95 miles per hour (152 kilometres per hour). The nearly completed high-rise is known as One57 and is in one of the city's most desirable neighbourhoods, near Carnegie Hall, Columbus Circle and Central Park. The New York Times recently called it a "global billionaires' club" because the nine full-floor apartments near the top have all been sold to billionaires. About 90 miles (150 kilometres) off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, a US coast guard team rescued 14 crew members by helicopter from the HMS Bounty, a replica 18th-century sailing ship that sank in a storm. The ship was built for the 1962 Marlon Brando film "Mutiny on the Bounty." Those rescued had donned survival suits and life jackets and boarded two lifeboats after the ship began taking on water. They were plucked from 18-foot (5.5 metre) seas just before sunrise. Two other crew members are still missing.
