People are thinking about cranes in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood

The Google building where the crane collapsed looks like it had a big bite taken out of it. And on the South Lake Union sidewalks below, people are looking for answers.

Jay Mehda walks by cranes every day. He had this question: "What are the steps that are going to be taken to make sure that something like this doesn’t happen."

John Duncan asked: Why not disassemble cranes when there’s no one around? "Do it Sunday morning at 4 in the morning," Duncan said.

Phil Arnold, whose kids attend school a couple blocks from the crane accident, wondered how seriously he should take the risk of cranes. "It makes me worried to walk down the street," he said.

Shalmali Bhoir said more roads should be closed, when cranes are dismantled. "I mean there are other ways to get to a destination, not just one street," she said.

Tamlyn Tamura, who was delivering food to restaurants, said closing roads may be going too far. “I think the main thing, going forward, is education,” she said, meaning the public should know when cranes are being dismantled.

In a hearing Wednesday, city officials suggested that Seattle politicians wait until the state investigation is complete – before developing new regulations on cranes.
