Families of crane collapse victims sue

By abc7NY
NEW YORK The victims were 30-year-old Donald Leo and 27-year-old Ramadan Kurtaj. They died when the crane fell on Manhattan's Upper East Side on May 30, 2008.

The two wrongful death lawsuits were filed Monday in state Supreme Court.

They say New York Crane and Equipment Corp. put a defective 200-foot crane into service and the city allowed it to happen.

The city and the head of New York Crane, James F. Lomma, did not immediately return calls for comment.

The lawsuits seek unspecified damages.
