A crane collapsed in Hurricane Milton. Authorities aren’t investigating

Lawmakers years ago banned cities and counties from overseeing crane safety in storms. Local officials want change.
 
During Hurricane Milton's high winds, a crane fell from a downtown high-rise and smashed into an office building at 490 First Ave. S in St. Petersburg. Days later, an aerial drone view showed the broken crane still wedged into the damaged building and splayed across the street.
