After collapses, councilman calls for crane inspections

DALLAS – High above the city, construction cranes slowly expand Dallas' skyline. Despite the progress though, a local councilman questions their safety.

"I'm asking the city manager to look at these cranes and the operators and get somebody out there to inspect them," said Mitchell Rasansky, Dallas City Council, District 13.

Yesterday, in Miami part of a crane fell 37 stories, as it was being added to the main structure, crushing two workers to death.

Ten days ago in New York, another crane collapsed, as it was being raised, killing seven.

It's a good thing the City of Dallas spoke up about this issue, otherwise, there will be another tragic crane accident close to home.

Good to hear, every city should be doing this.
