A crane moved a trimmer weighing in at 500,000 pounds, a human error was made so that the room began to turn on itself before the aircraft struck the crane.

“One of the strings of the guide serving to direct the half-trimmer during a lifting operation is stuck. The piece was a short-rotational motion on it and came to slightly touch the mast of the crane,” said the Group Signature on the St. Lawrence, adding that the Committee on standards of equity, fairness, and the health and safety of the work has been notified.

Fortunately, nobody was injured.

Last December, VAT News, was based on concerns for the safety of workers following an incident on the construction site.
