Employee killed when crane falls from roof

Employee #1 and coworkers were installing satellite TV dishes on the rooftop of a ten-story apartment building. A Sodenic portable roof crane was being used to raise and lower materials, equipment, and tools. Employee #1 and a coworker were on the roof lowering the crane's counterweights two weights at a time in a basket. With four weights remaining on the counterweight tray, two weights were placed in the basket and lowered. As they were approximately halfway down, the coworker felt a jerk on the crane cable and saw the rear of the crane lift. He fell out of the way but saw the crane and Employee #1 go over the edge of the roof. The employee and the crane fell eight stories onto the flat roof of an attached garage. Employee #1 was pronounced dead at the scene and was transported to a local hospital by an ambulance service.
