    Inspector Is Charged With Filing False Report Before Crane Collapsed - By WILLIAM NEUMAN and ANEMONA HARTOCOLLIS, New York Times
    Two nylon slings that had been holding the collar in place high on the crane broke, and investigators are trying to determine why.

    Ms. Gill Hearn said there was no indication that anyone involved in the construction project was connected to the allegedly false inspection.

    The Buildings Department has been plagued by corruption scandals, often including the bribery of inspectors.
