    Crane topples at Ikea site; OSHA opens investigation By William Kaempffer, New Haven Register
    John Dolan, of Skanska USA Building, the general contractor for the project, said the 35-ton crane was lifting a piece of steel to set it upright when it tipped over. The boom of the crane came down on a smaller bucket lift. A worker in the bucket was not injured and the crane operator also escaped uninjured.
