Work Resumes at Deadly Crane Collapse Site

But no crane has been brought on to replace the one that collapsed last week

Work has resumed at a Manhattan construction site where a crane crashed down and killed a worker last week.     

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority told the Wall Street Journal that no crane has been brought in to replace the one that collapsed last Tuesday.     

Construction on the extension of the No. 7 subway line at 11th Avenue between 33rd and 34th streets resumed Monday.     

The cause of the accident is still under investigation.

It will focus on defects that engineers found in the crane's hoisting system.
