Cranes for Construction vs. Execution

I'm glad to be in NYC, where cranes are used for construction. In Iran people are hung from cranes until they suffocate. "According to the state run Iranian news agency Fars, fourteen people are scheduled to be hanged in public in the southeastern Iranian city of Zahedan tomorrow July 14...Since beginning of July 2009, at least thirty-seven people have been executed in Iran."-- http://iranhr.net/spip.php?article1182
