Report on Crane Death Released

/>

A report has been released recently that details the incident of a crane falling in New York City that led to the death of one person.

The report concluded that the accident was caused as a result of improper use of polyester slings.  These slings were used when raising the crane.  

The report found that 4 slings were used,  whenever the crane should have had 8 slings.  Further,  one of the slings being used was compromised.  With a low number of slings and the integrity of one compromised,  the accident occurred. 

The company that caused the accident had  charges brought against them,  and the owner has pled "not guilty".
