Work Is Halted at Subway Site After Fatal Crane Collapse

A day after a fatal crane collapse, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority shut down all work at the construction site for the No. 7 subway extension to Manhattan’s Far West Side, leaving a 60-foot-deep pit that looked like an underground ghost city for various investigators to mine for evidence of the accident’s cause.
On Wednesday, officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, prompted by the accident, ordered the inspection of cranes operated by Yonkers and other contractors at the World Trade Center site, a person with knowledge of the actions said.
As investigators on Wednesday roamed the normally bustling construction site for the No. 7 extension, the cranes and other machines there were silent. Work by three other contractors operating jointly beside Yonkers on the site — Skanska, Schiavone Construction Company and J. F. Shea Construction — was also halted.
