Overview
- Video captured the moment a lanzadora de dovelas slid out of control and fell onto beams at Cañón de Otay, Colonia Libertad, on August 21.
- Injury reports conflict, with some accounts mentioning two workers hurt and others reporting none, and the municipal government has not confirmed casualties.
- Early accounts point to a possible cable failure or a brake issue, with at least two beams believed to be affected by the crane’s weight.
- The area remains secured as engineers evaluate the structure and plan the crane’s removal, and local reporting expects a temporary delay to construction progress.
- The Sedena-led, Fonadin-funded project connecting the airport to Playas de Tijuana has logged previous accidents and labor complaints, including a July 31 collapse that injured multiple people.
