Crane Operator Linked to Building Collapse Turns Self In



A crane operator involved with the building collapse in downtown Philadelphia gave himself up to authorities. 

Sean Benschop is accused of being high on marijuana when operating a crane when the four-story building collapsed onto a Salvation Army Thrift store.

Authorities say Benshchop will be charged with 13 counts of reckless endangerment of another person, six counts of manslaughter, and “risking a catastrophe”.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter says he hopes Benschop faces “the harshest level of charges…and he is punished accordingly”.
