“I want to reiterate that from everything we have seen up close, the tower crane is stable, and we have found no evidence that it currently poses a hazard to public safety,” Oddo said during a regularly scheduled public safety briefing on Friday. “We are looking at every entity,” he said. “There's a general contractor involved. There is a crane owner involved. There’s the crane user, the crane operator, there's the engineer — all of those entities and every other variable in this situation will be looked at and considered.”
