I-280 crane collapse - "A major thoroughfare to the Ohio Turnpike will be shut down for at least a week after a 2-million-pound steel crane collapsed Monday onto a construction site on I-280, crushing a tractor-trailer and killing three workers. Five injured workers, including one in critical condition, were taken to St. Vincent Medical Center. The crane collapsed about 2:30 p.m. and fell between the northbound and southbound lanes on the approach to the bridge over the Maumee River south of downtown. OSHA will lead the investigation into the accident. In addition to seeking a cause, the federal agency also will decide whether criminal charges should be filed."

Didn't want to leave this with "no comments" showing in case friends or family members viewed this site. It's just that we are almost at a loss for words. What we all hoped and prayed would not happen did happen. It's exceedingly dangerous work and the workers at that site are and were all brave men. Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the deceased and injured.
