Worried about what the winds will do to the massive construction cranes outside your residence hall window?

Mayor Vincent Gray tweeted Monday that the city’s construction cranes are designed to withstand winds up to 100 mph – just minutes after a high rise crane in New York City snapped in half at 65 feet above ground because of strong winds from Hurricane Sandy, according to The Washington Post.

Contractors for University construction sites, like those for the Science and Engineering Hall and the School of Public Health and Health Services, implemented emergency plans for the storm to ensure the cranes could sustain the wind, Darrell Darnell, senior associate vice president of the University’s Office of Safety and Security, said Saturday.

“[We’re] pretty confident we have the right plans in place,” Darnell said then.
