Catonsville, Maryland, April 2013. There were no injuries reported after the incident in which a seventy-ton crane fell over at an apartment complex construction site. It was gathered from the director of safety and environmental health that it was the placement of the crane on top of a hill that was responsible for the fall when the boom was extended. Although the boom fell over some scaffolding, said the director, limited property damage was recorded. Two more cranes were driven to the site so as to disentangle the fallen crane. The Department of Occupational Safety and Health and the Department of the Environment in Maryland were contacted shortly after the said incident. The official cause of the incident is still being investigated.
