It will be the investigation of the Turin prosecutor's office to ascertain the causes and possible responsibilities for the death of Filippo Falotico, 20, Roberto Peretto (52) and Marco Pozzetti (54), the three workers killed in the collapse of the crane two days ago in Turin .
All three were anchored and safe, but fell to the ground together with the structure from a height of 40 meters. And the massacre, as residents say, could have been even worse: "Just before the crash a bus was passing. The driver must have heard the bang behind him and accelerated after a short hesitation."
THE INVESTIGATIONS - Meanwhile, the surveys on the site of the tragedy continue: yesterday morning, with the fog and the temperature around zero, the firefighters inspected the stretch of Via Genova where the accident occurred. The operators of the Sap and the Nia investigative unit, also using a drone, made films that will be made available to the magistrates.
It is not yet possible to establish with certainty whether a human error, an omission of some kind, a sudden break was at the origin of the collapse of the crane. The track due to the collapse of a portion of the asphalt under the enormous weight of the plants is less and less traveled.
The light is lit on the mobile crane of the company "Calabrese" which with its powerful mechanical arm was completing the assembly of the blue lattice crane of the "Logo-Gru" where the three workers were. Once assembled, the structure would be used for the renovation of the roof of a building: the work had been entrusted by the condominium, whose administrator is responsible for the works, to "Fiammengo". The operator, an employee of the "Calabrese", who was injured, has already been heard as witnesses by pm Giorgio Nicola.
THE TESTIMONY - "When I passed in front of it with some friends, that 'arm' was tilted in a strange way, like a rainbow - says a woman -. I have no competence in the matter and probably what I saw does not mean anything. I had a bad feeling. Then I walked away. Less than 10 minutes later they phoned me to tell me that everything had collapsed. "
