PlusNY Mayor: Collapsed Crane Properly InspectedNY Mayor: Collapsed Crane Properly InspectedThe Associated PressNew York Mayor Michael Bloomberg says a crane that collapsed during rush hour on Friday was inspected and installed properly, saying it's a mystery why the top portion of the crane snapped off. At least one person was killed. (May 30)This video contains ONLY natural sound. No script is available.
I dunno why it happened, but I am guessing from the limited footage that it was in the middle of being top climbed? If so,that is not nessacarily the operators fault but the crane service crews also.

honest mistake? Cranes are built on a safety system in which if the crane is to life 85% or more of max load it requires engineer prints and certification.
The boom of the crane is built on a 5:1 safety ration.. so if it could lift 1mil, the boom won't brake until 5mil.
That was a crane operators mistake and he should be fired, charged, and placed in jail.

Buildings can't get tall enough as it seems.. Can iron cranes withstand or overcome their own physical forces and mechanical barriers ?
Answer: not. The physics will always win.
