The Ticker: (p.m. Edition): Crash, Kurtz, Lee…

By Chris Ariens 

> CNBC producer Andrea Mantia lives in the New York building where that construction crane crashed this morning. Insiders tell us she is fine, but shaken. She reported by phone for the network until CNBC correspondent Bertha Coombs arrived on scene.

> Howard Kurtz talks about the McClellan book this weekend on CNN’s Reliable Sources. Guests include Bush’s former speechwriter, David Frum, ABC’s Martha Raddatz and Bill Clinton’s White House press secretary Joe Lockhart.

> The blog Wall Street Fighter has a profile of FBN’s Jenna Lee, describing her as “the proper business reporter with the very ‘porn star’-ish name.”
