Crane that fell on Grand Mosque was operating without license
2015년 9월에 발생한 사우디 성지 메카 그랜드모스크 건설현장에서 발생한 대형 크레인 붕괴사고로 110명이 사망하고 260명이 부상했다.
크레인의 붐의 길이는 무려 190m.
80km/h에 이르는 강풍에 다른 현장에서는 105km/h까지 풍속이 잡혔다.
사고 직후 크레인 제작사인 독일의 립헬사는 붕괴원인을 조사했고 사고 원인은 '기술적인 과실'은 없다고 판단했다.
립헬사는 강풍의 악조건에서도 작업 지시를 한 크레인 기사를 언급했다
현재 건설사인 빈라덴그룹 14명의 피고인은 법원의 선고를 기다리고 있다.
현지신문인 가제트지는 피고 중 한사람인 엔지니어가 최근에 제다여름법원에 크레인이 무면허로 운영됐으며 대부분의 건설 근로자들은 매뉴얼이 있는지조차도 몰랐다고 진술했다고 보도했다.
이로 인해 붕괴사고 관련 피고인들은 근무 태만 등 중죄 선고에 직면하게 되었으며 이는 8천불의 벌금과 최대 6개월의 징역형에 받을 수 있는 죄목에 해당된다.

JEDDAH — The giant crane that collapsed on the walls of the Grand Mosque in Makkah in September 2015 killing 110 people and injuring 260 others was operating without license, an engineer has told the Jeddah Summary Court which is looking into the case.
The engineer was one of 14 defendants from the Binladen group who are standing trial.
The group, which is involved in the Haram expansion project, had owned and operated the crane.
The defendant also said that most of the workers at the site had no knowledge of the manual book explaining the operation methods.
“Some of them did not even know that such a book existed,” he said.
The court will convene on Thursday in its new headquarters in Makkah to rule on the objection of the defendants to its authority to look into the case.
The defendants said it is the Civil Defense Council (CDC) which is the legitimate body to look into the case not the court.
The court had so far held four sessions during which it studied three parcels of papers containing more than 2,500 pages on the case.
According to informed court sources, the defendants are facing a number of charges including the violation of safety rules, negligence and causing the death and injuries to many people. A number of lawyers said that under the CDC system, the punishment for negligence is discretionary which might be a maximum imprisonment term of six months, a fine not exceeding SR30,000 or the two punishments together.
