Ugh, I used to work on cranes as a diesel tech, I work on trucks now. Those pics are freaky. Heres one for you...

Have you ever heard steel scream?

and the news story on the 10th anniversary this year

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8RxvyC44yg

Watching that still makes me cringe.

Yeah, very scary stuff - cranes are great as long as they're loaded correctly, but a little bit of side load and it's time to run! Supposedly, the original driver refused to do the lift and another driver was brought in - don't know how true that is, mind.

There are a lot of crane and lifting failures on YouTube, some funny but some tragic!

This has a bit of swearing and is poor quality - but do you see what the problem was?

This is why you NEVER get under a lifted load - in this case, the sling/strop broke!

"The soundtrack is group Suisse Gotthard and the assembly east even make by me", from the replies - you'll have to decipher the grammar yourselves.
