Seattle college says student was among those killed by crane.
Officials in Washington state on Monday are expected to release the identities of the four people killed when a construction crane fell from a Seattle building.
"While we grieve the sudden and tragic loss of our precious student, we draw comfort from each other," Seattle Pacific's statement said."We ask that the community join us in praying for Sarah's family and friends during this difficult time."Frank Kuin, a Montreal-based journalist, was in a Seattle hotel lobby when he heard a"big bang" and felt the floor shake. He said he initially thought there had been an earthquake.
"It's a very detailed process," he said."It will actually be months before we have anything regarding the cause." The deadly collapse is sure to bring scrutiny about the safety of the dozens of cranes that dot the city's skyscape. With Amazon, Google and other tech companies increasing their hiring in Seattle, the city has more cranes building office towers and apartment buildings than any other in the United States. As of January, there were about 60 construction cranes in Seattle.
