At NYC crane collapse trial, man recalls seeing fatally injured son pulled ...
NEW YORK — Donald R. Leo was getting ready to climb up to his job as a crane operator when a coworker told him another rig had collapsed at a different construction site — the one where Leo's son was working as a crane operator, too.
Leo ran much of the three miles to the place where he would see his fatally wounded 30-year-old son, Donald C. Leo, being pulled from the wreckage of a crane the father had briefly operated himself about a month earlier, he recalled in court Wednesday.
"It was horrific," Leo recalled in remarks after testifying at crane owner James Lomma's manslaughter trial in the May 2008 disaster, which killed Leo's son and sewer company worker Ramadan Kurtaj, 27. A third worker, Simeon Alexis, was seriously hurt.
Prosecutors say the top portions of the 200-foot-tall crane snapped off, slammed into a nearby building and fell to the ground because Lomma had pinched pennies in repairing a key part of the crane — its turntable, the part that lets the upper arm swivel.
