A construction crane fell from a building on Google's new Seattle campus during a storm that brought wind gusts, crashing down onto one of the city's busiest streets and killing four people.
The scene of a crane collapse in the South Lake Union neighborhood of Seattle on April 27.
The deadly collapse is sure to bring scrutiny about the safety of the dozens of cranes that dot the city's skyscape. With Amazon, Google and other tech companies increasing their hiring in Seattle, the city has more cranes building office towers and apartment buildings than any other in the United States. As of January, there were about 60 construction cranes in Seattle.
"We don't know, but that's what seems to have happened here," he said."We are in the process of trying to get information." "It was terrifying," witness Esther Nelson, a biotech researcher who was working in a building nearby, told the Times.
