Just saw on my yahoo page that another crane fell in Miami , Florida . I believe two people died. Thats two bad crane accidents in as many weeks. God bless the families of the victims.
That sounds like the tower crane that dropped a section as they were jacking the rig up. If that's the one, it landed on the house that was used in the movie with Cameron Diaz called 'There's something about Mary'. I know the uncle very well, of a rigger that was on that one at the time it lost the section.
