Here's some heartening news: "The Buildings Department ignored warnings from a division chief that a problem-plagued crane should be grounded months before it collapsed, killing two workers at an East Side high-rise. Whistleblower Bethany Klein, then head of the department's cranes & derricks unit, warned in an e-mail nine months before the May 30 disaster the tower crane was at risk of 'catastrophic failure.' This is the second collapse, not the first one. [NYDN; Crane Collapse Coverage]
