Joe Evans moved the controls slowly on the massive 40-story crane, knowing that everything had to work just perfectly or he and his co-workers would be in big trouble. This was a very dangerous lift and he was stretching the equipment to its capacity, and hopefully, not too far beyond that. All of a sudden, out of the corner of his eye, Joe noticed an unusual movement and the engine began to sound funny. He realized only too late that his rigger had failed to secure the crane properly.
As he felt the crane swing off balance, Joe jerked hard against the controls to stop the boom. But now the heavy crane had a mind of its own. It tilted, tipped and crashed into the skyscraper building, almost totally completed. The last thing that Joe remembers was this 40-story crane tumbling down and crushing him.
