the contractors are hiring cranes barely able to do the job on paper to save money, rather than paying for the next size up and being safe?

"There have been several deadly crane accidents around the country this year..."

I wonder what the problem is. We have had several here in British Columbia, also. Do the cranes all come from China?:) Or is it the operators? I have heard that the people that run them don''t have to have any "special" training.
