Due to your negligence installing an air condition in the window of your 10th floor apartment in New York City, the air conditioner slips out

Due to your negligence installing an air condition in the window of your 10th floor apartment in New York City, the air conditioner slips out of the window and hits the foot of a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk in front of your apartment building. This causes a severe injury to the pedestrian's foot. At the time, the pedestrian was talking on a cell phone to his sister, who is driving the world's largest dump truck in a huge mineral mine across the country in Colorado; and, when the injury occurs, the pedestrian screams in such terror that his sister is momentarily distracted while driving the dump truck and mistakenly turns in the wrong direction running over and killing a worker on the ground at the mineral mine.

explain in detail why you are or are not liable in negligence for the death of the mine worker in Colorado?

(Note that the facts indicate already that you are responsible in negligence for the injury to the pedestrian; so, you need not explain your liability to the pedestrian).
