The crane was being dismantled when it fell across the partially constructed arts and technology building. The two workers were employees of Harrison Crane & Hoist.
The cause of the accident is under investigation. The USA’s Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) was notified immediately and its investigation staff have arrived on site. Engineers have been engaged to assess the damaged crane and to develop a plan to remove it from the site. Both OSHA and independent investigators will review the plan and witness the safe removal of the crane and repair to the damaged facility.
