Inspector arrested in NYC crane collapse

A quick survey

Given that the deaths of several people resulted along with
millions of dollars in property damage, and required extensive
emergency services such as police, fire and EM, what felonies do
you think the inspector, the inspector's supervisors and, if it
can be proven, the project manager/owner should be charged with
in addition to accepting/paying a bribe?

Your suggestion --

A wee bit premature given that we don't have a good handle on exactly
what happened, mostly speculation. Certainly if improper rigging and
operation of the crane was the cause, the liability would rest with the
company operating the crane, which seems to neither be the crane's
owner, nor the construction company or developer.
