New York City on Friday was just the latest in a series of accidents that have killed and injured hard-working construction workers and bystanders who were in the wrong place at the wrong time.
A pedestrian, 38-year-old David Wichs, was killed when the crane in New York collapsed at around 8:30 a.m., officials said. Two other people were seriously hurt and a third suffered minor injuries, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said.
Since 2006, at least 21 workers across the country have been killed when the machines they rely on to lift heavy loads into the sky suddenly failed them, according to federal Occupational Safety & Health Administration figures obtained by NBC News.
