Crane owner to go on trial in deadly NYC collapse
For the Manhattan district attorney’s office, Lomma’s trial is a second attempt to hold someone criminally responsible for the two crane collapses, which stoked anxieties about construction oversight in a city that had been in a building boom. A crane rigger was acquitted of manslaughter and all other charges in the earlier collapse.
The May 2008 collapse “is particularly devastating because it could have been prevented,’’ DA Cyrus R. Vance Jr. said in a statement when the indictment was unveiled in March 2010.
For Lomma and his companies, mainly New York Crane & Equipment Corp., the trial represents a chance to try to clear himself with a two-part defense outlined in court documents — that he acted responsibly in getting the repair done, and that the crane fell apart because it was pulled up too high, not because the repaired part failed.
“New York Crane is looking forward to a trial at which it will be shown that what occurred was a tragic accident, and not a crime,’’ the companies’ lawyer, Paul Shechtman, said Friday.
