On February 5, 2016, it snowed heavily in New York, USA, and the wind whistled through the streets next to the Empire State Building, making people feel that something bad was about to happen.
In front of a building, an oversized crane was working, ready to lift the generator and air conditioner on top of the building.
However, the wind was too strong, with wind speeds exceeding 20 miles per hour, and the construction party decided to suspend the construction and lower the crane boom, which was more than 150 meters high. Friends who have done hoisting know how dangerous it is to have a boom of more than 150 meters on such an exaggerated windy day.
However, no sooner had the boom been recovered than the crane lost control and the boom fell straight into the sky.
People living in nearby buildings happened to record the scene with their mobile phones, and the boom of the crane, which was more than 150 meters long, slammed into the ground. Unfortunately, there are still many cars parked on the ground.
The video shows that after the accident, several people rushed to the crane cab, after all, there was still a driver there.
Subsequently, it was found that the crane boom also hit several cars, and there were people in the cars, and the accident caused three injuries and one death, but the driver did not seem to specifically explain whether he was injured or not.
After the accident, the entire accident scene was in shambles, and various debris smashed by the crane was scattered all over the ground.
As can be seen from the video, it was still snowing heavily at the scene of the accident at this time.
Take a look at the tragic situation of the crane that crashed to the ground after the accident, and the damaged boom was a street or two long. It is said that the crane weighs more than 330 tons, but there is no information about what type of crane it is.
From this point of view, it is completely the scene of an American disaster movie blockbuster, and some film companies can quickly take the opportunity to shoot a scene and save how much production costs.
A post-mortem investigation revealed that although there was a heavy snowstorm at the time, the operator also made a mistake, which made the already unskilled operation technology even worse, and it can only be said that the operator and the wind and snow weather each accounted for 50% of the responsibility.
The accident is said to be at the intersection of Voss Street and West Broadway, and the boom of the crane that smashed the ground also smashed the water mains on the ground.
The boom of the crane smashed on the ground and the smashed car, combined with the background of the snow, are chilling and creepy.
It can be said that the crane is basically scrapped, and the crane alone will lose more than several million dollars, and it will also compensate for casualties, smashed ground and buildings, this force majeure and operation error accident, the insurance company is estimated to not pay.
According to the RMB calculation, the loss of a small goal of the car owner company is not able to run!
