There is news of an unstable tower crane in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. It looks like something went wrong when the crane – a Terex hammer head – was scrambled down / dismantled after the contract ended. The emergency services have evacuated the area and are waiting for the arrival of two mobile cranes and other tower crane fitters.
