A piece of equipment from the crane either fell, came loose, came crashing down, knocking this employee and another co-worker off of the safety platform that they were on. |
Is there a chance that this crane will collapse? Is there a chance that just a section of it will just fall through? So, not to take any chances, we have blocked off several streets. |
It's one thing to write [these plans] out, but it's another thing to actually perform them, because we need to know how effective something is when we put it in place. |
That's another question, too: Was it secured properly, or were they in the process of doing that and that also contributed to why it collapsed the way it did? |
They were able to approach this individual who was hanging, telling him, 'Listen, to stay calm, and try to swing yourself back over to the rail to grab on until we're able to get to you.' And they were able to bring him down, where he met with the paramedics. |
They're all cousins. So, we have three different families that are having to deal with such a tragic incident. |
