Why do American flags hang off of cranes?
American flags do not hang off cranes unless someone died at that sight and they want people to remember them. Similar to what fire fighters did a WTC. If by hanging you actually mean why is there a flag on top of a crane, then that is a different answer. They usually fly a flag at the top of construction cranes to get an idea of wind conditions and direction which is very important when you are lifting a heavy object high up in the air.
