Crane Co. Told to Stop Work at 22 Sites After FDR Collapse

The operator of the crane that partially collapsed on the FDR Drive last month will have to halt all work at 22 sites around New York City until it replaces senior personnel and hires an independent monitor.

The Department of Buildings said United Crane and Rigging was responsible for the July 30 incident, when a crane lifted more than its permitted load and its boom bent. 

United was also involved in a fatal accident in April, the department said.

This is a developing story.
