Did the crew working on the crane that collapsed in New York City Feb. 5 act soon enough and have enough time to secure the equipment before strong winds blew? 

In response to last week’s crawler crane collapse in lower Manhattan that killed a pedestrian, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced new safety regulations Feb. 8 lowering the maximum wind speed at which the cranes must stop operating, to a sustained 20 mph or gusts of 30 mph. Previously, crane operation could continue until steady wind speeds hit 30 mph or gusts reached 40 mph.
