Were the two guys who got killed the same two who pulled the pins?

I was outside about 5 miles east of where the collapse took place.

The wind was blowing pretty hard that day - at least a 15 mph steady wind.

Those gusts literally came out of the blue.

No clouds anywhere. Then, suddenly, gusts that almost knocked you off your feet.

You probably saw the nonstop coverage of the collapse, but as often happens, film and commentary is aired before any facts are established.

Ironworkers Andrew Yoder, 31, of North Bend, and Travis Corbet, 33, were working on the crane when it plunged to the street.

And I find a few more details than that but not much. The details about where the iron workers were located on the crane is not mentioned by the popular press.

It is probably in the accident report but I didn't see a link to it.
