The police report that “The first call came from luxury apartments being constructed at 66 Summer Street, with a number of people climbing the 220 feet to the arm of the crane to hang a banner from it while an additional party was strapped to the trapdoor of the crane cabin in a manner that would cause the party harm if the door was opened.”
