U.S. NATIONAL NEWS
from Eyewitness News Online Cause of Houston crane collapse still unknown July 19, 2008 11:11 PM HOUSTON Federal investigators are now probing Friday's crane collapse in Houston that killed four workers at an oil refinery. So far, there's no word what went wrong. Refinery officials hope cameras mounted around the plant will give them a clue. The 300-foot tall machine was one of the world's largest mobile cranes. Besides four people killed, seven others are injured. Four were hospitalized, but two have now been released. The first lawsuit has been filed because of the collapse. The lawyer for a worker injured when he jumped some 45 feet from an elevated bucket is trying to preserve the scene and evidence relating to the accident. The refinery brought in grief counselors Saturday, and plans a series of safety meetings. |
