Crane Accidents in New York and Dubai
Yesterday, a crane collapsed in midtown Manhattan by East 51st street between 2nd and 3rd avenues. One block from where I used to work and where a lot of my close friends still work. I’m glad none of them were hurt.
The area has been undergoing a lot of construction in the last few years as new residential buildings are being erected. The New York Times reports:

Crane Accident Raises Safety Questions at World Trade Center
The Port Authority is not legally required to follow New York City building and fire codes at the World Trade Center site but has made several commitments over the years to meet or exceed the city's safety standards.
In 2009, amid concerns about crane safety at other construction sites in the city, the Port Authority agreed to allow Department of Buildings inspectors onto the World Trade Center site.
However, the DOB has to give the Port Authority advance notice of when it plans to inspect and must be escorted by the Port Authority at the World Trade Center site, according to a March 5, 2009, Memorandum of Understanding between the DOB and the Port Authority.
In practice, when the DOB is called in to investigate a safety complaint, the agency often refers the issue back to the Port Authority, according to an online listing of complaints .
State Sen. Daniel Squadron, who represents Lower Manhattan, has sponsored legislation to try to resolve the jurisdictional uncertainty at the World Trade Center and other state-owned sites. The legislation was partly in response to the many safety violations uncovered at the state-owned Deutsche Bank building after a 2007 fire there killed two firefighters.
