Crane Topples in Manhattan, Killing at Least 4 PeopleMarch 16, 2008
An ACCIDENT is a specific, identifiable, unexpected, unusual and unintended external event which occurs in a particular time and place, without apparent cause but with marked effects. It implies a generally negative probabilistic outcome which may have been avoided or prevented had circumstances leading up to the accident been recognized, and acted upon, prior to its occurrence.

Wow that was a bad bad accident!
Oh, that's a terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families.
My WW is not up yet. I'll post it tonight. Take care.
its worse
What a tragedy! I cannot belive that with our technology of this century, accidents like this still happen...
Tragic and frightening. I remember when the crane fell during the construction of the Brewer's stadium in Milwaukee it was terrible. Such an intense picture.
Heads or Tails and Weekly Word Challenge posted today, you get WW tomorrow....haven't decided what to post quite yet.
Some accident, eh Mary? I guess a new part of the definition is "something you wish didn't happen and for which you are responsible and on which you gambled at the expense of others."
Sad.
Oh, it's me again. You have something to pick up at my place... I see that you already have it, but this one is from me! :o)
A tragic accident. I believe there are ways to avoid another one and I do hope they do it.
An accident. An accident in law is the opposite of injury (loss to person or property or economic) caused by negligent behavior of someone.
In other words, it--the accident--just happened, which is not the cause of most automobile injuries.
Happy WW/WT! That incident was in the news most every time yesterday. I haven't heard any more news of it today.

BTW, I wear flip-flops around a lot, in the house, driving, to the grocery store, and on and on. Even when I vist friends.

This was such a horrific accident.
We had a similar accident in Washington involving one of these huge cranes...
Dang - I heard about that but hadn't seen any pictures.
What a terrible tragedy.
Hey Teach!!! No worries, I took your link off Mr. Linky for this week. I hope you can return next week to participate in the Give Me Five Meme! :)
The cranes get higher and higher because the buildings get higher and higher...It is a scary sight to see them in the middle of a large city and then to have one collapse is a tragedy
Utter tragedy.
I followed that accident very closely at work (I'm a newspaper journalist)
You shot is as good as any news shot I saw. Great effort.
I was so saddened to see this.
That was a terrible event. My thoughts are with the families of those who died or were badly injured
*sigh* a tragic I hope the authorities buckle up on safety levels.
