    Coroner IDs ironworker found dead after Normal crane collapse - By Michelle Koetters and Phyllis Coulter, Bloomington Pantagraph, IL
    Wednesday’s fatal accident comes on the heels of several other fatal crane collapses across the U.S. that have put extra scrutiny on crane safety.

    Four workers were killed in a collapse Friday in Houston, and there have been other incidents in Miami and Las Vegas. In New York City, two crane accidents since March have killed nine people -- a greater number than the total deaths from cranes over the previous decade.
