And it caused a lot of noise and a big scare for anybody who saw the crane go down. Nobody was hurt. Construction on the bay bridge right behind me is expected to resume this morning as is the investigation into exactly what happened. When the crane was working below the deck of the new eastern span it collapsed around noon. It was lifting a large steel segment when it slipped loose and fell on a barge taking the crane down with it. Just grazing the bridge on its way down. The crane tipping over only caused some cosmetic damage to one of the crossbeams of the new east span. It just scraped some paint. There is no apparent damage to the Structural Integrity of the bridge. Reporter two floating cranes had been taking down the underlying support structure which was temporary anyway so it was supposed to come down. The suspension span is now holing up the road.
