Crane collapse at new stadium

[whitedk57]

Apparently, there was a crane crash at the new LA Stadium build site. Not much else out there about it...

I thought the Cowboys were meant to be at the Coliseum not the new stadium?

I hope everyone's okay.

I see some bent steel. I wonder how long this will set it all back. Hope all OK.
The operator, his fault. Been around that and it can get very scary.
A crane operator pulled the boom back on a very large crane I was working around. There is a "crackhead" ball on the single line side. Not the main lifting multi cable side. The headache ball was only about 6 feet down and he shound have let that cable out as he boomed up. Well it snapped the single cable and the 400lb ball landed 15' from where myself and 2 other guys were standing.
Operator was fired on the spot.

Hope that does not delay the completion of the stadium on time for the opening in 2020.

Stan’s must have Insurance on these types of accidents. Or is the cost coming out of the stadium contractor?

Contractors are typically required to carry liability insurance.

This happened on the 6th. Been trying to get more info on it since then. No one is saying much.

Chargers probably had something to do with it!

They probably have to start over now. I wonder where the next stadium will be.

That doesnt look like just a crane. That looks like Big Red. The HUGE crane they had to truck in, in pieces and assemble on site.
