Major Crane Failure in California

[RobArb]

this was on bbc breakfast this morning, looked like a doosy

[coolie]

Can I get them to do the tree at my Mother in laws place please.

[treeratclimber]

that is unreal

should of straight felled and lifted out in 2 bits

would of only added half an hour to the day

[Doug Blease]

Climber must have had very near miss. Bad situation, hope no-one was injured.

[Doug Blease]

I wonder if they will use a crane to get the last few bits out?!?!?!?

[benwrdn]

bad times

[Dean Lofthouse]

whoops. Dont let Lofthouse see this, it will bring back Vietnam-esque flashbacks.

 

One big difference, I went for the ride of my life when mine failed, a 45ft free fall adrenalin rush.

 

I really cant see why the tree wasn't felled, processed and power barrowed out .

 

Cranes are the future though

Good to see no one was injured though!

Maybe the guy who owned the tree operated the crane as his job and thought " I know....."

lets all guess diferent scenarios, of what might, could of and probably never did happen.

I reckon he saw a saay woman walking past who gave him the nod, and he just let go of his joystick
