Crane Accident: Town of Florida, N.Y.

June 2012—Some 1,700 utility customers lost power for about an hour after a crane working in a stone quarry accidentally tore down a high-voltage electrical line. After the crane’s boom snagged the line, the crane’s tire quickly caught fire. The operator leapt from the cab before the rest of the crane went up in flames. – www.cbs6albany.com
