Crane leg collapse causes 99-ton concrete section to fall

AGC SmartBrief | Feb 13, 2012

A crane weighing nearly 800 tons collapsed on Friday when a footing buckled as it was lifting a 99-ton piece of concrete decking for the new Port Mann Bridge near Vancouver, British Columbia. The damage to the deck has not yet been assessed. The concrete slab will be retrieved from the water, but the project could face a delay.
