India: On Day After Fatal Collapse, 200-Ton Beam Falls


By HEATHER TIMMONS


A 200-ton metal beam crashed to the ground at a construction site for New Delhi's subway system on Monday, destroying three enormous cranes and flipping a 16-wheel truckbed. No injuries were reported. It was the second accident in two days for the Delhi Metro, previously considered the country's best-run construction effort. Nearby, on Sunday, a pillar built to support aboveground rails collapsed, sending a parking-lot-size slab of concrete to the ground, killing six people.
