Bellevue Crane Collapse

Last night at 7:45pm a crane toppled over in Bellevue, WA...and one man died while in his apartment, probably watching tv or something.
I used to look out the window at the jobsite where it happened. It was abandoned at the time, I guess the owner had run out of money so construction stopped when they were still working on the underground parking garages.

They're investigating the cause. We have two tower cranes on our jobsite, I wonder if it was hard for the operators to climb those stairs to the cabs this morning.

The guy killed was a Microsoft lawyer and he had moved from KC :(
