Construction of the new crane began early Saturday and ended at 10 p.m. Two blocks of streets were cordoned off as each segment came in on a semi from New Jersey. I missed seeing it lifted to its upright position, but I did watch it being moved into position in the dark of night--like watching a prehistoric praying mantis creep into a corner of a kid's Lego play set.
The one that fell last month was 40 years old. There is a computer in the cab that indicates the weight of each load. It's not certain if the computer malfunctioned or the operator mis-read it.
