Lincoln Center Lift Tip-Over

Stage Directions | Two Hospitalized after Accident at Lincoln Center

Just saw this in my email. My first thought was another case of pushing a genie around at height, possibly with no outriggers. Has anyone heard anything more about this?

Another paper states that that no investigation by city will be done re: lift fall, as the stagehands caused their own accident.

The report (s) mention a scissors lift. Our head audio , who has worked the space, commented that JALC doesn't own scissors lifts but instead have (had) JLG self powered mast lifts, something like 3 of them, so possibly that's what they are referring too. Lot's of unknowns about the accident, was it house staff ?, freelancers ?, what room ?, etc...
