A giant construction crane collapsed onto a busy downtown Seattle street, killing 4 people. Officials in Washington state are expected to release the identities on Monday of the 4 people killed when a construction crane crashed from a Seattle building. Right now the latest information about who died that Saturday afternoon was one female and three males. No one expected the loss of these four when the crane crashed onto one of Seattle’s busiest streets. Unfortunately, the crane fell from a building under construction on Google’s new Seattle campus onto Mercer Street. All four people had died by the time firefighters arrived Saturday afternoon. Two of the victims were ironworkers who had been inside the crane while the other two were inside a car. The only name that has been released is Sarah Wong, a freshman student at Seattle Pacific University. Everyone who knew the victims are grieving, and the media is working out details of the deaths and the names they are preparing to release.

This reminds me of the accident that happened in October of 2018. This was another construction acid dent in Dallas. A construction site crashed and fell just like the crane, however luckily no one died. People were trapped for hours until rescuers saved them from the site. Construction accidents are actually quite common. Sadly many people have lost their lives because of construction accidents like these.
This is really sad and I hope that they do something about these construction sites to make it less dangerous.
ReplyDeletewith construction being everywhere these days I hope they use this incident as a sign to make sure areas with people around construction sights are safe and clear
