A crane collapsed in NYC a few days ago, killing and injuring some people, and destroying some buildings. I was curious about the engineering aspects - how are cranes kept up? Seems like their natural tendency would be to fall, so there must be counterweights or something.
Bob Arihood has some good photos and an explanation I can understand over at "Neither More Nor Less". Quite interesting, actually.
