Quote: Search dogs sniffed the rubble. Rescuers aimed thermal-imaging cameras and listening devices into crevices. Some pulled at bricks with their gloved hands.
Quote: Inspectors examined the crane Friday and found nothing wrong with it.
Quote: City Building Department records show that a caller told officials on March 4 that the upper portions of the crane appeared to lack the proper number of safety ties attaching it to the building.
Quote: A city inspector visited the site and determined on March 6 that no violation was warranted. 
Quote: Last month at a Donald Trump hotel-condominium tower, a worker plummeted 40 stories to his death when a concrete form gave way. A month before that, a crane's nylon sling broke away and dropped seven tons of steel onto a construction trailer across from ground zero, injuring an architect.

pmwww | | Re: Crews search NYC crane collapse rubble (16th Mar 08 at 5:40pm UTC) | | | This does seem like quite a tragic accident, but I disagree with you saying the city workers were "noobs" and not doing their jobs properly. They have to make sure the crane meets a set of guidelines, and that's it. They can't change the standards in any way; I'm sure they all did their job perfectly fine. The problem lies in the city itself only enforcing the minimum standards. | |
