Construction Crane Topples at Airport

A construction accident at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport shut down the upper level drop off lanes at the South Terminal. No one was hurt. Airport engineering crews were able to stabilize the fallen equipment after three hours. Airport spokesman Herschel Grangent said that airport officials are trying to figure out how the accident happened.

"We have engineering, also operations, looking at the situation just to find out exactly what was going on when the crane overturned to see if all procedures were followed and once we make a determination on that we'll know exactly what happened," Grangent said. Four cars were damaged in the accident.
