Wouldn't fancy having to repoint that chimney.

 

I'm suprissed anyone in Austria would get on to wedged up mega tonne Crane to attach strops without a harness on, and I'm not sure I'd fancy being the guy on the ladder either

Looks to me like he was goin for the new crane wheelie record and some plonker had put a tree in his way!! haha

What tree???

i think it was a case that the tre was not to big and 60 -80 ton crane not to small , it may have been that the section of tre that was cut had swung out of the cranes lift radius and pulled it over , the only reason i say that is because it happened in wales a couple years ago to an ainscough crane
