Tragic Crane Accident - Tower V
February 15, 2014
A tragic accident occurred on Tower V in Nuevo Vallarta on the 15th. It appears the two crane booms working on Tower V contacted each other. One crane could have been pulled away by the other. No one knows the extent of injuries, if any. Our objective is to keep everyone informed and let anyone involved know that our prayers go out to them.February 5, 2014

We had a tragedy here at Nuevo Vallarta today.
While we were playing the first hole of golf we heard a big noise and turned around and the two cranes on tower V must have contacted each other and they both fell.
