Dad of Crane Collapse Victim Calls Company Owner 'Coward'
"Initially when I first viewed him it looked like his hands were shaking so I thought he was still breathing," the dad said.
With a photo of his son beside him on a screen, Leo told a judge he believed his son was being taken to an EMS van, but it quickly became clear he was dead.
"When they stopped wheeling him and didn't put him in a bus, that's when I knew," he testified during Lomma 's trial on manslaughter charges stemming from the May 30, 2008 accident at East 91st Street and First Avenue, where a luxury high rise was under construction.
In opening statements, prosecutors described how Leo had held his son, crying, for 10 minutes at the scene. He was not asked to recall those moments Wednesday from the witness stand.
Leo, who also worked on cranes after retiring from the FDNY, said he received a call about the collapse while he was taking a coffee break at a different job site downtown near Bellevue Hospital on the morning of the tragedy.
He hopped a cab at First Avenue, but jumped out and began to run when the taxi hit traffic.
