Crane operations in New York City, halted after the fatal Upper East Side crane collapse on May 30, may resume on Monday, with the exception of those using the same crane model as that involved in the collapse.
The investigation into the tragedy continues. Piece by piece the toppled crane was dismantled and carted away to an undisclosed location for expert examination. But the clean up continues to send dust and debris flying on East 91st Street.
Damaged empty apartments, blocked-off streets, and two deaths all drew the ire of Manhattan’s borough president.
“Too many New Yorkers find themselves worried that the construction boom in New York is endangering their safety.” said Manhattan President Scott Stringer.
New York’s latest doomed crane was inspected multiple times and shut down twice. Now the focus is on a crack in the crane’s turn-table base.
