A boom broke on the crane lowering the tree from Macy's at Lenox Mall in Atlanta Wednesday morning, landing the 60-foot Georgia White Pine on its side.
Drivers on Lenox Road could see the tree partially hanging over the edge of the store's roof. At least one window was broken.
During the 2011 holiday season, the original Macy's Great Tree snapped while being lifted onto the rooftop, and the store had to go with a replacement tree.
