Double pointer.

Investigation revealed that the crane suddenly collapsed while lifting a concrete girder that was being transferred to another location at around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

The cause of the crane collapse is still unclear.

The crane's steel cable struck the construction worker who was positioned below the boom to guide the operator during the lifting operation.

Actual video footage of the incident taken by residents showed that the victim was not wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) at the time of the incident.

Dizon said authorities were also investigating possible safety protocol violations.

The construction company handling the bridge project has yet to issue a statement.

Police arrested the crane operator, who is facing charges of reckless imprudence resulting in homicide.

Dizon said the victim’s family has no intention of filing a case, provided that the company will assist them with expenses and provide financial support.

The bridge is part of the Abra de Ilog–Puerto Galera Circumferential Road project, which aims to connect Occidental Mindoro and Oriental Mindoro.

It hit the headlines following complaints that the structure had remained unfinished for nearly a decade.

Smacked his ass hard core.

Missed the falling crane by inches only to be killed by a relatively small high velocity rebounding cable/attachment. It comes bouncing back directly from above when the action appeared finished. I was expecting him to look under the concrete for big surprise and did not anticipate a fully disintegrating third wold crane.

He missed the falling crane, but the falling crane didn't miss him

Like getting hit by a massive bullet

That impact knocked him to the ground so fast it looked like he was pounded in like a nail.

He was injected into the earth from which he was created.
