does that bring back memories deano?

[Mr Ed]

STill trying to find out who that was, as it was only on my doorstep, but surprisingly, no one wants too admit to it. Bloody stupid, whoever they were. Obviously had no clue.

[Pete Mctree]

I remember that from last year. You ask any of the local crane companies Ed?

[Mr Ed]

Yes.... but crane company's have cranes fall over all the time... of the ones I know, it was'nt one of theirs.

I love the way they've tried to blame it on the operator... would you really try to lift anything with the outriggers only half way out:bird:

[Peter]

I dont like the way the crane appears to drop off the roadside after it tips. Must of given the operator a nasty fright if nothing worse.

Any suspicions who it might have been?

[Mr Ed]

not a sausage. no-one is admitting to it locally...

might have been a crew from shropshire or west midlands, as its in Corris, just up the road from the Centre for alternative technology.

Funny thing is, I did a crane job in almost exactly the same place about 10 years ago.

[MattyF]

looked a to smaller crane for the job,and his jib was to far out...

Seen that video before, I get that horrible feeling in my stomach when I watch it.

[Mr Ed]

Crane size was fine. But his outriggers were barely half out...
