Description
A cross in the median on Mercer Street marks where a crane crashed to the ground in 2019 killing four people and injuring many more. For parents Andrea and Henry Wong, it was the day they lost their daughter.
“For me personally – I still deal with it a day at a time,” Henry Wong said. “This incident which we will not call an accident was entirely preventable,” Andrea Wong added.
Sarah Pantip Wong, a 19-year-old freshman at Seattle Pacific University, died when the falling crane crushed the car she was riding in. A 71-year-old pedestrian and two ironworkers were also killed in the collapse.
Pain has turned to action for this grieving family, together they crafted what would become House Bill 2022. The bill, currently working its way through Olympia, would add new restrictions for crews operating cranes in Washington state.
