cranes

The city’s buildings department says diesel-powered tower cranes must have fire suppression and detection systems to prevent similar incidents.

Thomas O'Brien, 73, suffered fractures to his spine and skull when the crane crushed the car he was sitting in.

Bay Crane has been sued at least five times over accidents in the last four years.

There were two fatal crane collapses in 2008, and have been several others in the last few decades.

"It's about the worst situation it could be," said one officer at the scene.
