Three construction workers were injured Thursday when a piece of a crane malfunctioned as they were assembling it. None of the injuries have been reported as life threatening.
UPDATE: Here's the official statement from Manhattan Construction:
Around 2:00 p.m. today, while assembling a crawler crane on site, a cable connector on the erecting crane failed, allowing the crane’s cables to fall. The boom being assembled was on the ground and had not yet been attached to the crane.
Three employees on the top of the crane’s cab jumped to avoid the falling parts and suffered injuries. All three were taken to area hospitals, one via Lifeflight helicopter. The condition of the employees is not known.

Are these cranes owned by the same company that just killed that guy in Dallas?
