SUMMARY

An operating crane in New York collapsed early Saturday morning, killing the operator and another construction worker. The crane, which was owned by New York Crane Corp. was being investigated at the time regarding its operation. It was reported that it had been hoisting materials over the street, which is a breach of building codes. The investigation however was not related to the stability of the cranes structure, and investigations will now focus on what caused the collapse. The collapse comes not long after a similar collapse in March.
