That's just crazy. They never saw it coming. And crazy to think that had they driven a fraction faster or slower their lives would have been saved.

Truly sad.

I drove by that thing a while back when a section was on the ground parallel to Essen and thought, "That looks a lot bigger and heavier than when it's way up in the sky"

It’s actually the same size and weight when it’s up high. It just looks smaller due to science.

I haven't heard about this yet. That's terrible. So those killed were in cars on the street?

Man, talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time for those who were killed...

That's why when your number is up, it's up...

Some of the deaths were in cars and 1 or 2 were construction workers

Sarah Wong, 19, died when the crane — erected for the construction of a Google campus, according to the Seattle Times — landed on six vehicles driving on Mercer Street. Wong was in an Uber with a friend when the crane fell on their vehicle, reported CBS 2 in Los Angeles.

What does that have to do with the people who were killed?
