There are only going to be more crane accidents in the city because there isn't enough people checking out the cranes. Case in point is the city is sending out TWO inspectors to check every single crane in the city!!??

And this map doesn't show the load that snapped from its hoist and caused glass to rain down on Bryant Park, for which Gothamist had a beautifully crafted re-enactment: http://gothamist.com/2007/10/17/midtown_crane_l.php
