2 trapped in Md. crane collapse unhurt
DUNDALK, Md. (AP) - June 4, 2008 Lt. Pierre Thode with the Baltimore County Fire Department says
the men climbed down a ladder under their own power around 4:45
p.m. Wednesday. The crane went down shortly after 4 p.m.
Thode says the men weren't pinned down in the crane, but their
ladder gave way when it collapsed, leaving them with no way down. A
fire truck with a long ladder came to the rescue. The men were not
taken to hospitals.
The men were working to unload materials from a barge.
The collapse occurred at the Sparrows Point steel mill, which is
owned by Russian steelmaker OAO Severstal.
