WRONG NUMBER, DEATH CRANE WASN'T MEANT TO BE AT SITE

June 5, 2008 -- Hardhats at the site of last week's deadly Upper East Side crane collapse say that piece of machinery wasn't even supposed to be there.

New York Crane, owner of the crane that broke apart 200 feet Friday, killing two workers, was supposed to supply the construction crew on 335 E. 91st St. with crane No. 053, sources said.

Instead, they received No. 052 - the very same Kodiak crane that suffered a cracked turntable on another job on West 46th Street more than a year ago, according to sources.
