Fatal crane collapse adds to N.Y. construction death toll - BY VED DOOKHUN, The Militant
NEW YORK—Seven people were killed in mid-Manhattan March 15 when a crane 19 stories high collapsed and crashed into buildings as far as a block away. The collapse occurred as workers were attempting to raise the height of the crane, an operation called “jumping.”
Five of those killed were construction workers who were members of Local 15 of the Operating Engineers Union. They were Wayne Bleidner, 51; Brad Cohen, 54; Anthony Mazza, 39; Aaron Stephens, 45; and Clifford Canzona, 45. One construction supervisor, Santino Gallone, 37, also died, as did a tourist, Odin Torres, 28.------------------------------------------- posted 6:49 AM :: reference link ::
