Waterpark workers injured in 40-foot crane plummet

    From the Niagara Falls Review:

    Two workers who suffered serious injuries when the hydraulic lift they were using toppled over at the Americana Resort’s waterpark Tuesday morning are expected to recover, a Niagara Regional Police source says.

    “They’re both going to survive. That’s what they say,” acting staff Sgt. Dan Tibbs said. They were in critical condition Tuesday night, but the injuries were not considered to be life-threatening, he added.

    One man, who worked for a St. Catharines electrical contractor, was airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital and a second man who worked at the hotel was taken to Greater Niagara General Hospital. The worker taken by air ambulance suffered “fairly serious injuries” to his head and chest, said fire services platoon chief Ken Moore.
