Cranes aren’t dangerous, people are I spent 25 years in a multi-craft facility where I had operator and rigger certs. We had several incidents, three of them major, one resulting in destruction of the crane and the load. Thankfully, we never had a serious injury. With only one exception, each accident was caused by operator error. Two of them at the hands of the same operator :confused:

New York, New York (PRWEB) March 06, 2012
Firefighters rescued a construction worker who was trapped for over an hour in dirt and debris following the collapse of a trench where he was working. The sides of the trench unexpectedly buried him up to his waist in the dirt, reported NY1 (3/3/2012).
“Happily, this was a successful rescue, because most trench collapses end in tragedy. In some cases, a construction worker is buried alive and crushed by the soil, a terrifying thought for anyone in New York construction,” lawyer David Perecman, a New York construction accident lawyer for over 30 years, said.
In the rescue effort, firefighters used a Con Edison vacuum truck to suck up some of the dirt trapping the construction worker, according to NY1.
“Trench collapses are some of the most serious New York construction site accidents ,” said New York construction accident lawyer Perecman, the former head New York construction accident lawyer for the New York State Trial Lawyers Association and a lecturer on construction accident law. “Soil may appear to be light, but it can weigh close to 2500 pounds per cubic yard.”
