Basically, a really stupid construction company cut a load of corners which resulting in a crane killing people. Then the US justice system has to make an example of them!

their argument doesn't hold water - crane ropes are load tested to 5 times SWL for proof load and up to ten times plus, for destructive testing - either of those would've pulled the crane over long before the rope gave out

as for $95 million comp - what a ridiculous amount !! How the hell can they ever justify that figure!!!!!!
